No, I have you on the spreadsheet. I’ll update the participant list later this week. Thx for checking, though

Great idea! I've got too many unread books on my shelves.
The plan is to read at least 15. All physical ones.

2. Apeman, Spaceman

[Susan]

I’m in for 20 that are currently on my Kindle shelf, physical book shelf, or audible shelf.

[Amanda]

Amanda W's 40 in 2023.

[Kristy]

2023 Clear the Shelves Challenge
Duration: January 1, 2023 - December 31, 2023

Only books purchased prior to December 31, 2022 count. Must read 5 books already owned before reading anything else for the year.

I didn't come close to making it in 2022 so I don't want to up my goal to keep it at 10% for the new year, but I don't want to lower it either since it should be 170 now. 😂
