Good luck with your resolutions! I know I couldn't keep a single one of them! I am working away at my TBR pile, and last year about half the books I read were ones I already owned.
This is definitely the year to get serious about the TBR shelves! Good luck with your resolutions--your book count is certainly impressive. I love audio books myself and find it's a great way to try out new authors or books I may not want to use valuable eyes-on-page reading time for.
I'm trying #4, too. I give myself until February, at the latest. ;-)
Good luck. I lasted about 1 day on number 4, and I plan on plumping up my graphic novel section. And 126! Best of luck.
Great goals, though some are a little more "ambitious" than I would dare attempt...especially that one about cutting down on the number of books you have in-house. Good luck with that one. :-)
126 books?! You are amazing. It just took me about two months to finish Wuthering Heights.
Love your resolutions and of course the clever way you've worded them!
Good luck on your first resolution (which will strengthen your chances at the no-new-paper-books one). I'm trying it again too, although I've never made it to the finish line...
Good luck with your resolutions! I just finished Les Mis and it was such a sense of achievement!
Good land, woman! You're ambitious! I suspect you'll land every one of them except the book-buying ban.
I need to finish Les Mis too! and I already succumbed to #4....am working on #1 too, for the first time. It's kind of good to be reading books I own, whittling down Mount TBR.
Happy resolutions! I'm still making mine. Happy reading too, Book-twin.
