Shelf-A-Thon 3 Reporting
Angela wrote: "Sara, I am done reading books for the challenge. Two of the books I read, did not fit. I got to 380, which was good for me because I did not plan to finish it. This time around, I am ALL in!! "My goal is to finish 3 more books (ambitious, I know)—the ones that would complete multi-book tasks where I've already read the other book... And if I have time (yeah, right), there's one more book I'd like to squeeze in that's pretty freaking short, actually. That would bring me to 630 points (or 645 with the 4th), which is just about right. I wanted to finish about half of the challenge. I won't make it there task-wise (I skipped way too many 5-pointers), but point-wise, I only need another 10 to get to 550. This challenge was just SO INCREDIBLY HUGE that there was no way I was finishing it. And now with all those 20-point tasks?? Who knows...
Oh, and...

Congrats to the Top Shelvers in February!!Diane: 216 shelves and 14 books
Hannah: 214 shelves and 9 books
Liz: 211 shelves 16 books
I wanted to do something that gives the top shelvers a reward for their efforts (like the Seasonal Challenge allows the person to pick a task for the following challenge for finishing the challenge).
So Diane, Hannah, and Liz can each cross off TWO shelves from their list. Please post the shelves you are choosing to cross off and I will add them to your totals after you decide! Great Job!
Yay! I'm crossing off "parenting" and "sports"
128 shelves7 books
One of them was over 500 pages (Inkheart - so good!), so I crossed off "m-m" and "manga-manhwa."
