2nd Quarter Challenge: Clear the Shelves

A Christmas Carol

[Megan]

Just completed a book from my New Series TBR - Bright Young Things by Anna Godberson. I was so disappointed with this book! Not only did it take me a long time to make myself read the book, I had to force myself to finish it. The writing was not done well, the characters were poorly rendered and unlikeable, and in the end, I really didn't care. Not worth reading. 2 stars

SECOND QUARTER CHALLENGE: CLEAR THE SHELVES
Duration: April 1 - June 30, 2016
(7/12)
As we move into the second quarter of the year, it's time to clear our shelves! Many of us (myself included) have shelves full of books that we haven't read. In my case, it's my goal to read as many books from my "owned-but-unread" shelf as possible. Others don't buy books, but have to-read lists that are getting out of control.

Either way, pick a goal and try to clear that many books off your shelves!

Feel free to make this your own - you can add extra requirements, like using a random number generator to select books like our randomizer challenge. You could limit the challenge to books you actually own, or tackle the books that have been on your to-read list the longest.

3 Stand Alone Novels - Already Owned
(3/3)
1. A Will and a Way - Nora Roberts
2. A White Cougar Christmas - Eliza Gayle
3. Good Neighbors - Sheila Roberts

Read a Trilogy

2. A Real Cowboy Knows how to Kiss (Book 2) Wyoming Rebels - Stephanie Rowe

I just saw this challenge. Bobbi, put me down for 5. I'm reading some pretty big books right now so that's why the number is so low

Progress 8/24

#8 Crampton Hodnet by Barbara Pym

I wanted to know if one can set multiple read dates on goodreads - on shelfari I could set dates separately each time I read a book so it counts re-visits towards m reading goals but I can't figure out how to do this here. As of now, I simply re-set the read date.

[Stephanie]

Update: Finished two more! I finished Invisible Man over the weekend- a book I probably should have read in high school. I just finished The Color Purple. I am up to 8/15 now!

I read a whole bunch of these over the new year break (never really read any chick lit before) and quite enjoyed them- chick lit they are but I wouldn't label them 'trashy'.
