Haha any books on his/her shelves worth reading?

Using your own name is a) Too easy (and this is already an easy challenge, you don't even need the loophole) and b) seems to defeat the idea behind the challenge, which is checking out other members and their books.
Mod
Well, I'd say it's easier than the Title and Author version of these challenges, at least when I look at it terms of how I do these. I don't really plan either, because I have to read review books, so I just try to fit those in where I can. With the title challenge, each book can only fit in one place, and if that's taken, you can't use it. The Author challenge is slightly easier, because you have the option of 2-4 names/initials and you can move your books around. The Character challenge is very easy, because almost all books will give you multiple characters to use.So this one seems easy because of how much shuffling you can do, especially if you read a book that's on multiple shelves. And if you read many books during the year, it should be easy to find 26 that are on other users' lists. The unusual letters will pose a problem, but they almost always do anyway.
Mod
Lol, when stuck, read Pratchett!I think we're very lucky that the only X member has almost 30 000 books listed!

Example for "C" read one book off Claudia's etc. For U - Read from a member that has a U in their name. You may not use your own shelf!
You can put the date you saw it on the specific person's shelf, just for the record if they delete it for some reason :)
This will run from January 01, 2013 - December 31, 2013.
PS: This was Carolien's idea!
