Yearly Challenges: SHRINK THAT TBR - 2015
July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016
40/40 Read

Read three 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. Tell us the series.
1. Oath of Gold - Elizabeth Moon - Deeds of Paksenarrion #3 - 7/22/15
2. Blood Rites - Jim Butcher - The Dresden Files #6 - 8/27/15
3. Dark Frost- Jennifer Estep - Mythos Academy #3 - 9/14/15

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, audiobooks or library books that are on your TBR for this task.
4. The Towers of the Sunset - L.E. Modesitt, Jr. - 7/30/15: own a Mass Market Paperback (MMP) copy
5. The Demon King - Cinda Williams Chima - 8/11/15: own a hardcover copy

Read two books from your TBR list that will help with two different, difficult-to-finish challenges. (Like an ABC challenge for which you still need Q, U, & X). Tell us which challenge.
6. Love's Prey - Meg Xuemei X - 10/12/15: A-Z Authors 2015 challenge
7. The Quaker Café - Brenda Bevan Remmes - 1/14/16: finished Scrabble and Maryland challenges, & added the Q for my 2016 A-Z Titles challenge

Read three books from your TBR list that are by new-to-you authors.

9. Legend - Marie Lu - 8/20/15

Read two books from your TBR list that a friend, co-worker or family member has recommended to you. Tell us who recommended them.
11. Nation by Terry Pratchett - 10/4/15: recommended by Nancy Helen
12. The Red Pyramid - Rick Riordan - 10/15/15: recommended by Kris

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.
EXAMPLE: If I have 450 books on my to-read list, the halfway point would be book #225, so I would read book #225 on my to-read list.
Note: If your "halfway" book is in the middle of a series and you’re a read-in-order person (like me!), you may read the next book from that series instead of your halfway book. Also, if you aren’t able to obtain a copy of your halfway book, you may read one up or one down from your halfway point.

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. Tell us when they were added.
