I am making this post for accountability purposes.

I recently discovered I have 50+ physical books I have won in giveaways or gotten in book swaps, but have not read. I decided this summer to read as many as I can.

I put them into a spreadsheet, they have all been assigned a number & have all been assigned an emoji.

I am excited about the variety of books on this list & hope to knock a lot off my TBR!

Wish me luck - I may need it, 😁! 💙💙💙

BookmarkTavern Good luck! 🍀 2w

5feet.of.fury I bet your next favorite book is in there! Good luck & happy reading! 2w

Read4life I love a good book list and spreadsheet. Have fun with it!! 2w

AsYouWish @5feet.of.fury Thank you! I have already read one and it was pretty good - I wish I had read it sooner! I will try to remember to post my reviews on here. I am trying to come up with a cute/fun hashtag to go with this journey. 2w

AsYouWish @Read4life Thank you! Big part of why I do anything is if I can create a good spreadsheet or a list, 🤣😂! Love creating them - just need to stick to them! 2w

I just painstakingly estimated all the shelves and piles in my parents' house, with a yardstick and many diagrams. The total is at least 9,835 inches, or perhaps 10k books.

Well, no apologies here. These books made me. I grew up thinking books were one of life's main delights. I grew up thinking a person should be broadly educated and interested, and have a library to match. (Continued in comment.)

TimSpalding I grew going down to my father's study at night just to scout out new sections I'd never explored before. His quixotic love of languages, with grammars and dictionaries for dozens of tongues, got me into Classics. And, eventually, the love of many books got me my career.

sixgun My grandmother and grandfather's libraries made me who I am today. I was more well read than many of my teachers. And self discovery is so much sweeter than the drudgery of instruction. 6y

BookBabe That‘s awesome! Love it. I grew up in a house full of books and I‘m convinced it made me the reader I am today. ❤️ 6y
