At the beginning of 2024, I decided to read a
book for review, then read a book on my To-Be- Read Pile. I had 50 of them on
Goodreads that were published a while ago. I deleted some that I did not have
in paperback or on my Kindle. Someday, when I purchase those, then I’ll read
them.
I noticed as I read them, it was nice to see my
“Want to Read” books in my Goodreads account actually go down. Many of them I
had as physical books on my bookshelf, and some were on my Kindle.

I worked through the ones on my Kindle first
since I carry that everywhere with me.
Then I worked through the paperback copies, but
those were in the evening since it is harder to carry those books to work to
read during my lunch time.
Some of the books were on the list since 2015
when I started on Goodreads. It was nice to read them and actually not to have
write a review for them.
I enjoy reading and reviewing books, but it was
nice to read them and then move to the next one without sharing my thoughts on
the book.
Next I plan to read the physical books that I
own that I have not read yet. I think I have about 50 books there too that have
not been read yet.
Plus, this will be a good way to decide once I
am finished reading them, if this is something that I will keep or donate to
our church library.
Selfishly, this way I can make more room for
additional books.
What about you? As a book dragon, I am sure it is easy to purchase books, but then forget to read them. Ever tried something where you prioritize reading those books that were lonely sat on the shelf and forgotten because you were going to get to them some day.
