I want to join this challenge in 2019. I just re-organized my TBR shelf because I had some books on the shelf that I didn't own and I just wanted books that I owned on the shelf. So if I search by date added it's going to show the newest date I added them. I know which books that I've had on my shelves the longest though.

I wonder if this challenge will be done in 2018 because I would really like to do this one.

Finally finished!! It took me long enough to finish but I finally did it!

I have a question about the category Body of Water: Will the book One Mississippi by Mark Childress count, since it's the name of a river.

I'm also having problems with the category Cultural. I don't know what counts for this category. Does Heaven Is For Real and On Agate Hill count, since they are name of places.

I'm dropping out of this challenge. There's no way I'll be able to finish it.

About through with this challenge I only have 1 more book!!! I may start this challenge over again in 2016. I have so many 450+ books to read.
