This will be my fifth year with the Library Love Challenge. And this year I hope that I will be able to reactivate my former love for the library. That I will go more often, read more books from the library and that I will be able again to actually enjoy my stay there while looking for new books or some I have not read yet. The challenge is hosted by Angel´s Guilty Pleasure and Books of My Heart. The library has become a sad place for me. And with that feeling looking around there for books I don´t know, isn´t a good thing anymore. On the other hand, I want to read. And I want to discover new releases. And unfortunately, my book budget has become almost nonexistent. So, yes, the library is a good place to find books I want to read but can´t afford to buy. Maybe I am extending my goal during the upcoming year and end up with a totally different level or I will barely reach my original goal. Who knows …?
My Goal
Dewey Decimal with at least 12 read books.
