Overview

This challenge is to motivate myself to read books I already own! Most of the books I read are thrifted or from the library, but sometimes a book gets forgotten about and sits on my shelf for years while I get new ones. Ideally, one book a month should be read over the course of this year that were already on my bookshelf at the start of the year.
