I'm getting a late start but my goal is 20 books. I'm going to start with all of the very old used books I bought the past few months that are nice to look at but need to be read. Then I'm going to finish the ebooks I bought in 2015 and never read and also finish books I started and never finished.

The first two are The Birds' Xmas Carol by Kate Douglas Wiggin (very old and not finished) and You'll Like My Mother by Naomi A. Hintz (not as old but not finished).

The first book I bought used last month. The copy is from 1888 and has a lovely gift inscription dated 1911.

The other I bought used because I remembered the TV movie that was made from the book years ago and when I came across the book I wanted to see how closely it followed the book.

I have failed in my attempt. I have re-read many of my old books this year but somehow have not managed to read very many of my unread old books. But they do look nice in an artfully arranged stack tied with a piece of old ribbon.
