    On the bright side, you've managed to read enough compared to what you bought that there was a percentage increase in the progress, lol. Hopefully you hit the August target!

    I love this, such a beautiful and concise way of sharing your journey. And in 4 months I can't wait to see how close you are to your prediction. May this journey never end even if the path feels difficult from time to time.

      Thank you so much! I am very curious as well how things stand after another 4 months...

    Great video Ed! I always enjoy your breakdown of your TBR vs read. I’m afraid to calculate my own percentages haha

      Thanks Daniel. I always remind myself it is not a competition. Would like to see your version.

    Even with the last book haul, you are making progress! You have lots of enjoyment ahead of you!! It's fun to see your shelves both read and pending.
    I just learned that C J Sansom has died. His Shardlake series (historical mystery) is so good!! Now, there will forever be only 7.

      SLOW progress, but yeah, it is progress. I checked out an extensive obituary on C J Sansom. Have had his books on my wish list for some time. I will most certainly read his books in the future (when I am allowed to buy books again)...

    I really like these videos. I’d be curious to do my own but might be scared by the results!

      How so, scared by the results? Your video will be great, and funny. I'd love to see it!

    that challenge upsets me :P greatly. I can't really do that.. maybe because I do like to buy the books with the fear of being out of stock and then having to buy at a higher price.

      It upsets me as well! But I'm still doing it. Break my FOMO!
