I have failed miserably :D I read a book that was not on my "Clear the shelves"-list. But seriously, I was helpless! It just jumped at me with all its excitingness, looking all "Read me now!" and stuff. :D

Ok, but even if I, in a very strict sense, have failed this challenge, I still want to keep it up. I really want to read this five old books this year! I hope this is ok?

Just completed another ebook - The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead. Good, solid book. Entertaining but there was a measure of incredulity too that kept me from fully connecting. Worth reading. 3.5 stars

Just completed my 1st audible clearance - The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy Reichert. I loved this book! Delightfully, quirky characters combined with delicious food descriptions made for a fabulous read and listen. Good audiobook! My only issue was that the main character seemed a bit vulnerable for her supposedly independent nature. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars

This challenge is brilliant - I keep buying new books and the old ones lying around on my shelves are being neglected! I'd like to start off by pledging to read 10 physical books. So far I've already finished 2:

1. Death and the Penguin
2. Fahrenheit 451
