I'll definitely check out your challenge for next year! I've seen the ones where you have like a list of 50 books to read for a year, but personally I know I'd never be able to keep up with that. The idea of just improving upon what you managed last year appeals to me way more! I did actually pick up my book for a bit last night so I've been inspired haha~

Aw that's really cool that your library does purchase requests. It's definitely somewhere I don't utilise enough, and new books are so expensive so I don't really expand my collection as often as I'd like. We used to have a really cool second hand book store in my town but sadly that shut down.

When I was travelling though I did book swaps quite a lot in hostels so that was a pretty fun way to read some books that I necessarily wouldn't have picked for myself but ended up really enjoying. I have some of the authors penned down in a notebook just in case I come across them again
