Oooh! Good job! I didn't get that one until book 16! I'm excited... I got 'all' and 'romance-erotic-pnr-to-read'! *mutters about weird shelf names*
213 shelves16 books
Darn, I thought I got "read-prior-to-2008" but it was "read-before-2008". Grrrr....
Sara,You know I always feel like I waste so much time in the car. Thank you so much for this great idea to still keep me on top of my TBR pile (or maybe I should change that to 'to be listened to' now?). Thanks!

i actually got 9 from my last book, pretty good since there were just over 2 pages of shelves to pick from!

This one shelf per book may just kill me. Unlike Sara I don't really need a theological textbook, but I might have to start searching for a french cookbook that discusses women with relationship problems and takes place in Africa. It would also be great if it were a comic book and had a how-to section.

And if it were to be a popular bookcrossing book or possibly being kept in a warehouse, that would be lovely.

(Book 18 got ZERO unique shelves... so sad!)
Has anyone had issues with the way people shelve things? Like you read a nonfiction book, and someone shelved it fiction? Or it's an adult book with adult subject matter, and someone has it shelved as YA? Or even just you hated the book, and 42 people have it shelved as "favorites"?

There have been some weird shelves. A vampire book shelved as sci-fi. That "-" shelf (what does that mean).
It's definitely getting more challenging!
I am going away for Labor Day weekend, but keep on posting your shelves! I will be back either Monday or Tuesday.
Have a fun weekend, Angela!130 shelves

I'm surprised this book hit even one shelf because it only had one page of shelves. So YAY for even the one shelf! :)
Don't feel bad about only 1 shelf. I read a book that wasn't on any shelves-any at all. I read it anyway! It looked like no one had ever read it or put it on any shelf!
Susan wrote: "Don't feel bad about only 1 shelf. I read a book that wasn't on any shelves-any at all. I read it anyway!

I'm not even trying to hit specific shelves with books, not yet anyway. I'll read a book and if it hits shelves, that's awesome. :)

Some people like to be very, very detailed in their shelf names/ topics!!!

I didn't count it in my total. It was for the Summer Challenge, so I had to read it anyway!
