Great question! I'd say lately the majority of the books I've read have come from the library. It's such a magic place to visit and even when I go in to pick up a certain title I always leave with at least one newly discovered treasure. Though I must confess that it doesn't seem to have hindered my book spending all together. Right now I have three library books that I have to read in the next two weeks and I just bought a new book yesterday:)
>>I've been getting alot of BookCrossing books which I sort of look at like library books, in that they should be on the top of the TBR pile so I can get them moving again.
I try to do that, too (though I'm not always as successful as I'd like LOL)

<Ok, I had to go and count but it's at 97 library books and about 23 books borrowed or bought.
Most of the books I read I buy from various sources.

Will you make that "deadline" without much difficulty?
