2022 Bookshelf Binge

[Loraine]

It’s time to clean off those bookshelves, piles, stacks, or wherever your books are hiding including your e-reader. Who’s in to spend 2022 making a dent in those books and allowing room for new ones?

LEVELS:
1-10 - Barely Begun
11-20 - Clearing a Chunk
21-30 - Managing More
31-40 - Seeing a Shelf
41+ - Finally Some Room

Please respond with “I’m in!” if you are going to take part in this challenge and what level you are choosing.

[Brittany]

Thanks, Loraine! Stacks were mentioned in the first sentence of the challenge, so I thought I'd organize my tracking posts and notebook that way. It's more likely I'll clear out a few stacks of books rather than a few shelves from my bookcases.
