I don't mind if you want to arrange them in this thread. Everybody's bookshelves will be on here so it should be easy to see what everybody's got to read ☺

Rubbish quality. Cannot find my camera anywhere, and my phone camera is rubbish!Going with two shelves so i can read some books on others.
Top shelf is "to read" and bottom shelf is "to re-read" (Rereads ones are needed for some of the "to read" ones)
Top:
(have the rest as ebook)
(Have the 15th as ebook)
(Have rest as ebook)
Bottom shelf:
(Have 4th as ebook)

That took ages to post!
I'm in! :)Audiobooks [no reason to post the CD-s, they are quite small XD]:
E-books:
On my books shelf: I have all sort of classics and weird books that I didn't find on kindle so I don't think I'm going to post those because there will be probably no one to buddy read them with me anyway ^^.
P.S.: if I end up hating some of the books above am I required to finish them anyway or I can change them with a new one and just re-post my shelf?
Mod
Could you possibly just post one photo of at least one of the books on your ereader or something? the photos are kind-of the point ☺ It's not a problem if you can't, but I thought I'd ask.
Mod
if you wanted to read it with us? we're going to read the sequel too
I'm in. I have to ask my boyfriend if he lend me his camera and chose the books. My parents came to visit me next weekend so I ask them if they can bring me the book I left in their home.Sarah in the Review thread the date is wrong!
Mod
@Sara: I will join you guys for the Mara Dyer series and if I like it I might even stick with you guys XD.About the photo, I'll try. Need to find my camera @.@.
Mod
About the photo, I'll try. Need to find my camera @.@."
I know what you mean, I can never find mine when I need it!
Mod

I couldn't find mine either! :( Had to take it with my phone.
Mod
Then follow the instructions in the how-to thread here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
for how to post the picture in the thread.
If you're still having problems, let us know where you've uploaded the photo and we can post it in the thread for you ☺
I'm currently reading only digital books, and here are the ones I'd like to read in March:
ARCs:
@Tessa, would you like to buddy read Wait For You and Prince of Thorns?
@Tatiana, yes I would :) . I might also join you for All our yesterday. I have it for quite some time and I read good reviews for it :) .@Sarah - I would love to read Partials as well. This month I had no luck with the buddy read for it :( .
@Tessa, when would work for you? I can do any time after March 4th
In my cell phone (part 1):
@Tatiana: how about the 8th for Prince of Thorns and the 11th for Wait for you?
Part 2:
Im in! Does it have to be an actual picture of my ereader or can I post the books here?
I'm in! I don't know how to post pictures so is it okay if I just do the covers?
Mod
5 bonus points can be earned by posting a photograph though.
You can find out how to post photos here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Mod

Mod
Loved the night world series! she's one of my favorite authors. :)
Fantastic challenge!! Lovely shelves, girls! Will post pic of mine soon :DA question: Can we borrow from the library and count that as a spring cleaning book?
I have a lot of unreads... Please let me know if you would like to buddy!
The soft toys say hi :)
(Any Narnia book excluding Magician's Nephew and Lion Witch and the Wardrobe)
@Sarah. Nice bookshelf I really like the colour :)I have an omnibus edition of Morganville Vampires with the first 3 books. Can I separate them to count as 3 reads? If so...
@Abbie I'll read no #2 and #3 with you :D
I've been buying so many books lately, this challenge will surely make me read the ones I've neglected for so long! XD
Some TBR ebooks:
It's a good job i only posted two shelves, You all have some good ones i need to read! Haha.@Christina - Sarah and i both need to read the Vampire academy series, if you want to join us. :)
@Noella - That would be good! It's such a big series to re-read but i've forgotten loads! Don't want the last two books in the series to be confusing, haha.
I've just finished "The name of the star" otherwise i would have read it with you. :(
Sarah and i need to read "in the after" at some point too, and we both have the humongous book "Dead kiss" :)
@ Abbie Hope we can read Dead Kiss together (perhaps count it as 2 books)! I got my copy for $1 :P

This is a month-long challenge, running from 12.00am PST March 1st to 23.59pm on March 31st PST. Winners will be announced on April 1st 2014.
This challenge is for everybody that has lots of books sitting on their shelves unread and unloved, and is fairly simple.
All you have to do is post a picture of your bookshelf that you're going to 'spring clean' (you can post multiple shelves, or pictures of books on your ereader). Make sure that we can see the titles of the books, and are able to work out what they are - you can also list the books that you are going to read below your picture.
Example-
books to read -
Please Note:
* You can read as many books as you like
* You can read books in any order
* You are free to post multiple shelves/photos of books on your ereader
* You can skip books which are on your shelves that you have read
* You can read books which are from the same series as those that appear on your shelf
* Books read should have been published BEFORE 1st of January 2014 (they should have been hanging around for a while!) - You can read a new release if you are reading it as part of a series ☺
* You can have up to 2 solo re-reads, but if you're buddy reading I'll allow unlimited re-reads
(buddy reading rules apply still, and new reviews must be written with different details to any original review ☺)
- please note these amendments to our normal rules apply only to this challenge.
Points will be earned in 5 ways-
* 1 point per book read and reviewed (review guidlines apply)
* 1 additional point for a buddy read (buddy reading rules apply)
* 'Bonus' points will be earned in the same way - 1 point for a review, and 1 point for a buddy read.
* 5 Bonus points are earned by posting a photo of your books/ereader (max of 5 points)
* Equaliser points (applied at the end) - 5 additional points for every 1000 pages read.
Bonus points - Bonus points are given if you do a buddy read with someone for one of the books on their shelf, i.e.: helping someone else with their cleaning!
EG: If Abbie has
This challenge will also award equaliser points at the end of the challenge, with each participant receiving 5 additional points for every 1000 pages read.
There will be one winner who has the most points, and a second random winner ☺ Each will received 1 ebook of their choice from the Prize list: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
