Reduce what you own by 50%, I imagine there’s a lot of books to be thrown out then.
To be honest, most of the To Be Read stack was read last year and became the Read-and-Something-Should-Be-Done-With-These pile so it’ll be nice to finally sell, donate or bookcross them. :) I also have piles of books from former hobbies and OU courses than can be ditched. So (hopefully) it shouldn’t hurt too much to lose 50% of my books by reading more of them and set the redundant ones free… :)
Happy new year by the way, hope the wells were kind.
I love the variety in your list–very ambitious too! Thanks for stopping by my blog, and I am so glad I could find your list. I would like to borrow some of these ideas if I do another list when I finish mine. I am looking forward to following your adventures!
Hi Marcy, thanks for coming over to have a look. Feel free to share any of the ideas. :)
