The Dusty Bookshelf Challenge
While my 'Read' shelf is a lot longer than my 'To-Read shelf', I still find the books lying there annoying. Besides, I now seldom add any books to that shelf lest I'd never be able to get around them. However, I do need to read those books someday - except that day looks like it will come only after another century.
Hence, here is a challenge, not only for me, but also for you, to make that day closer. We most certainly don't want dust to collect along with those lovely books, do we? And the spiders! Ugh! The cobwebs! Isn't it time to clean it up to make room for more? (Books, not spiders or cobwebs or dust)
To start this challenge, you will need to select a list of books on your to-read shelf. List them in a post below if you want. Then start searching for a copy and reading them before the silverfish get to them.
So are you up for the challenge with me? :)
Duration: Open
Steps
• Make a list of your to-read book count
• Choose your cleaning level
• Edit your post or make new ones as you clean it all.Enjoy! :)
