I am definitely missing some books. Truthfully, I didn't read much in 2018 or 2019, although I do recall reading a few at the beach in Delaware. I gave away a couple books each Christmas (probably between 4-6 books). I read more in 2020, especially in the second half of the year with COVID-19 keeping us home. And I gave away 7 books this year, which is the most since 2017. Feels good to be back.
