SHRINK THAT TBR Duration: July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015
0/35 Complete
1. Read two books from series on your Goodreads TBR list that you have started and not finished. Books can be from the same series or from different series.
2. Read two books from your TBR list that you own – print books only please! NOTE: If you don't own ANY print books, you may use e-books or library books that are on your TBR for this task.
3. Read two books from your TBR list that will help with two different, difficult challenges. (Like an ABC challenge for which you still need Q, U, & X)
4. Read three books from your TBR list that are by new-to-you authors.
5. Read one book from your TBR list that a friend, co-worker or family member has recommended to you.
6. Open your TBR list and sort by date added. Make a note of the number of books on your to-read list. Divide that number in half (if you come up with a fraction, round up), and read the book that corresponds to that number.
7. Set your TBR list to show 75 books per page, and sort by Date Added, newest to oldest. Read two books from the first page of that list.
8. Set your TBR list to show 20 books per page, and sort by Date Added, oldest to newest. Read one book from the last page (or last two pages, if you last page has less than five books).
9. Set your TBR list to show 30 books per page, and sort by author, A-Z. Read one book from the first page of that list.
10. Set your TBR list to show 40 books per page, and sort by author, Z-A. Read one book from the first page of that list.
11. Set your TBR list to show 50 books per page, and sort by number of pages, shortest to longest. (If Goodreads does not list the number of pages for some of your books, you can use the page count found elsewhere – the author’s or publisher’s website, B&N, amazon, etc.) Read two books from the first page of that list.
12. Set your Goodreads TBR list to show 100 books per page. Sort by publication date, newest to oldest. Read two books from the first page of that list.
13. Set your TBR to show 75 books per page, and sort by average rating, high to low. Read two books from the first page of that list.
14. Set your Goodreads TBR list to show 100 books per page and sort by cover. Read two books from the first page of that list AND two books from the last page of that list.
15. Set your Goodreads TBR list to show 50 books per page, then choose Random in the Sort menu. Read two books from the first page of that list AND two books from the last page.
16. Set your TBR list to show 30 books per page, and sort by title, A-Z. Read one book from the first page of that list.
17. Set your TBR list to show 40 books per page, and sort by title, Z-A. Read one book from the first page of that list. (This could help with those X, Y and Z books!)
18. Read any three books from your TBR list that were on your list when this challenge began and are still hanging around :)
