>
Shelf-A-Thon 4 Reporting
****Deleted Shelves:trt-reviews, sociology, scpl, personal-collection, how-to, gay, general, books-sent-on, a-great-list-of-top-books-to-read, 2008-books, 2002If you played last round and hit any of these deleted shelves, you can cross off as many as you touched, so up to 11 shelves. You CANNOT cross off a shelf if you crossed off one of these due to reading a large book or if you crossed it off because you were a top shelver...only if you actually read a book that touched one of these shelves.
Please report which shelves you are crossing off. Thanks!!
