Shelf-a-Thon (5th of April)

I believe I have 100 shelves with two books.
170 shelves and 15 books. I added in a few I read to my son but I'm still missing a few kid related shelves. I'm going to make myself insane!
I know Joanie!! Just finished two books and only had one shelf... I am not going to read books just for the sake of hitting a shelf. If I hit, great. If not, oh well. I do not know children and I am not going to go out of my way to read a book read to allie just so I can mark a shelf. This is fun, but I am not taking it too serious... now the Spring Challenge on TNBBC is another story :)
I'm with you generally on not reading books just for challenges, but it is kind of neat to read books you wouldn't ordinarily read because the genre is completely foreign to you. I say this because I've changed my mind about 1 or 2 genres due to this challenge alone. So for that reason....it's been interesting and fun so far!

Joanie, I'm STILL missing kid shelves, too! It's driving me nuts!! Fortunately my son likes to read! :)
I've definitely been encouraged to pick up some slightly different books for this challenge...but I'm still finding myself hitting zero shelves for most of them now, so I guess they're not different enough. I just finished one yesterday that hit a 2 shelves - woohoo!

Laura, this challenge has also made me venture out and read different types of genres as well.
1. the number of books you've read; and
2. the number of shelves you've 'touched'
