2017 Recent Additions and TBR Challenge Wrap Ups

So this last year I decided that I would challenge myself to read each of the books I purchased or received within a month or so of adding them to my shelves.  That worked out great until about July when I started hitting up a bunch of book conventions, then things just spiraled from there.  It was good for me to keep track of the books I was adding to my shelves, I had no idea how many I was acquiring each year until now faced with this insane list of books!   I did manage to read 79 of the 234 books I added to my shelves this year, which is still quite a few books read.  I also managed to read 69 books from the books already on my shelves.  So in the long run I am saying that I added a total of 86 books to my TBR shelf this year (some of which have already been unhauled along with several large boxes earlier this fall).

I think this was a very eye opening challenge and it is clear to me what I need to work on in the future.  Do you keep track of the books you add to your shelves and if you read them or not?
