Aaaand, I’ve read 32! That’s about a third, so not too bad. There are many more here on my TBR, so I’ll likely be reading those soon.
I tag anyone who would like to participate! Let me know how many you got. 🙂

This is so fun! I just counted mine up and I have read 21. Some of the others I will definitely read at some point, but a lot of them I don’t have a lot of interest in reading. It could be fun to look at this list again in a few years and see how many more you’ve read!

That’s a great idea! I definitely have a lot of these on my TBR. I also didn’t count ones that I only read parts of, I should try to finish those.
