I did “a thing” throughout 2025. I have a really bad habit of getting new books and then putting them on the shelf, forgetting about them, and just reading from my Kindle. So, in 2025, I set out to “Read-My-Height” in books off of my own bookshelves, as encouragement to remember the physical books. Well, I surpassed my height and almost reached the ceiling. I was about two inches short (one good thick novel).

I enjoyed this a lot. I found it really satisfying to see the pile grow, and it really did encourage me to pick up a physical book instead of my Kindle, so I could add it to the stack. I think I’ll do it in 2026 too.

As a side note, you can watch me gain and lose weight as the year progresses. LOL
