I've completed at least two books on all my shelves but one (A Time: Winter), and added other books along the way. At least six more of my Shelfie titles will be read in May, after which I may delete that one missing shelf and call this challenge complete. Just one more month, unless June looks especially promising. 😉

Thanks, oshizu!
