The Rebellion Bookshelf

[Crusader]

This is a more humane version of the Discover Your Own Bookshelves challenge.

Same rules apply except instead of making a list of 25 books to read, you can make selections as you go provided that they consists of books you already own and have added before 31 October 2013.

If you are like me and read mostly where your mood takes you this is a better alternative to the official challenge. You are welcome to compile a list of titles, but it's not a requirement.

UPDATE
This started out as a bit of a prank, but seems there are members genuinely interested in doing things this way, I think we can do it as an actual challenge in conjunction with the Discover Your Own Bookcase challenge.

You can participate in both, using one for books from an actual list and any other books you also want to read and already own for this one.

[Barbara]

I don't like to add books to my unread shelf. I hate people who have 5000 books in total but have only read 24. Can I post pictures of piles of books I am most likely be using as proof of ownership?

Due to my troubles with internet I wasn't able to post my lists in time so I won't be participating. Good luck to everyone who is!

You are still more than welcome to participate in this one since no list is required and we'll take your word that you already owned them.

[Varla Fiona]

Finished

[Crusader]

[Varla Fiona]
