So a couple of weeks ago, I posted about finishing my reading challenges for 2016. One of those challenges was to read the books I bought this year. I marveled at the fact that I had only bought 23 books in 2016, which was way under the amount I normally buy. Of course, I had only read 8 of them, but that was enough to surpass my minimum percentage of 20% to complete the challenge.
And then. . . a Christian bookstore near me was going out of business, so they had really good sales. And I visited the wonderful bookstore by my mom's house when we were there for Christmas. Suffice it to say that I have no longer bought just 23 books in 2016.

I'm coming clean and confessing my splurge to all of you. But I'm also still counting my Read the Books You Buy Challenge as complete for this year. My percentage has dropped, and I won't be able to read enough books to get it back up by the end of the year. I guess I'll just count buying these books with no pressure as a Christmas present to myself. 'Tis the season, right?
