Overview

 Welcome to the Unread Owned Book Challenge of 2025!

I, like I'm sure many of you, have a pile of unread books at home. I wanted to take this year to get through them. The purpose of this challenge is to get through your unread owned books too. The goal is to get through at least 12 books from the books that you currently own that have gone unread. 
 
Feel free to join if you want to. Enjoy your reading!
