So when the idea of TBR Bingo appeared on Litsy last week, I knew this was something I had to participate in! I picked 25 books from my shelves that I'm most interested in reading right now and created a bingo card. I believe the original concept was that you could reward yourself for a bingo by buying a new book. I'm not sure how well I'm going to hold myself to that, since my bookstore visits are rare opportunities that need to be taken advantage of when they happen. At any rate, I'll have read 25 books off my own shelves in the near future! I'm setting a (flexible) goal of two bingos done by the end of the year - and hopefully three!
I'm always looking for ways to read my own books, rather than always-enticing library books. I did so well at the beginning of the year, but not so much any more. My reading for the month of August is pretty much going to be all library books, if I'm going to finish them all by the due date.

As I said on Litsy -- such a great idea! I like your goal for end of year to help focus on your shelves too. Two or three BINGOs would be a great start and probably once you get your momentum going, it'll be easier to keep it up :)

I sure hope so! I've been itching to read my own books again, although the call of the library is always strong. :)

Thanks! Bingos are always some of my favorite reading challenges, too! :)

My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
