yea i definitely agree since it is separate from shelter

I love a spreadsheet so this works for me!

ok lunch time means i can play on GR haha. I'm Kim from South Carolina, USA. i enjoy a lot of different kinds of books and like to change it up.

i haven't done this challenge before but the overall categorizing of books seem straight forward enough. i'm excited to see what twists will be thrown our way. my shelf is NBR book games 2024.

my 2 questions are:
1. do we add our own books into the spreadsheet? or do captains take care of that?

2. other challenges i've done have used a review thread to show completed books; what is the process here?

thanks in advance!!!

quick check in before work. intro to come but super excited to be on the team!!

i love this idea!

Cleaning out the TBR closet 2024 challenge
Duration: 1st January 2024 to 31st December 2024

I tried this once before and fizzled out of practice so hopefully I can do better this year. When I pulled up my TBR, I started removing books from 2015 so hopefully that's a good start.

As of this post, there are 735 on my TBR (until I go on IG later and get recs from BookTok lol).

My goal is 50 from before this year: 30 from before 2020 and 20 from 2021-2022. That feels realistic I think. When I post the completion I'll put date I added to the shelf to keep track :)

Before 2020:
1. Queen's Fool - TBR: 9/5/13 - Finished: 1/4/24
2. The Last Boleyn - TBR: 8/5/2012 - Finished: 2/9/24
3. Kitchen Confidential - TBR: 7/10/2015 - Finished: 3/5/24
4. Deathless - TBR: 4/24/2015 - Finished 5/21/24
5. The Historian - TBR: 1/3/2017 - Finished 8/29/24
6. The Way I Used to Be - TBR 2/9/2016 - Finished 9/22/2024
7. The Time Machine - TBR: 8/2/2015 - Finished 7/31/24

2021-22 List
1. All the Crooked Saints - TBR: 1/4/2021 - Finished 4/15/24
2. Under the Whispering Door - TBR: - 9/1/2021 - Finished 7/22/24

Total removed: 30
Also, I realized that I may have been a little strict with myself in choosing what books to read from. I haven't gone back to see what books I've read off my TBR that could technically fall into this year ranges. However, I am proud of myself for continuing to update!

this sounds like just what i need for 2021!

my goal will be 15 books; looking at what i have left from 2012-2015 i definitely had a theme going lol!


finished!



tried it, DNF





series

i'm finishing up my last book! this had been a really fun challenge, thanks y'all!

Let’s finish strong! We have been doing so good 😃

Haha what are the odds??!! Also I can’t think of a single book I’ve read with a character named Barry.

How goes the reading team? I’m enjoying this challenge but my eyes are definitely starting to tire haha.

I do. -> Radio Silence, Toulouse (character)."

awesome! thank you! would you like to name the dish?

I did spell it out for my most recent book. does anyone have a T to spare to finish up my sandwich?

I have other names to choose from but i was trying to go for shortest word that made sense and fit the parameters.

Thanks Jen!!

I’m really glad I got this team! It’s my first time on this challenge and everyone is so positive. Thanks y’all!

i listed my big book and got 9 meals out of it (including fish and chips with vinegar) and added the the google words to 7 of them :)

Oh no that’s the worst!! Haha

Way to go team!!
