My Ramble

I own over 600 books that I need to read. 20 of those books I got last Saturday at Goodwill. So I decided to look at my unread books and figure out how many of them I got at Goodwill. I have around 50. So my goal for this is to get that down to half by my birthday (May 10th). I’m not sure if this is possible. I do have to put the books I get for review before the books I buy. However, I am going to try my best.

Since #7 is optional, I’m not going to do it. If I don’t read all of the books, it’s not because I don’t want to read them, just that I didn’t have the time to get to them. So I don’t want to get rid of books that I want to read. That just means I will have to re-buy them later on.

The Plan

Read 25 of the 50 Goodwill books before May 10th.
If I succeed – When I go the city with my mom for my birthday, I get to go to Goodwill and buy some books.
If I fail – I don’t get to go to Goodwill when I go to the city for my birthday.
The obvious – I don’t get to go to Goodwill during this challenge. No Goodwill for me until my birthday and only if I get through the books listed below.
