-Please post the self you hit the most and how many times you hit this shelf and also post how many times you hit the new shelves that were added this time around. Please do not include any that were crossed off because of "winning" extra shelves or using books that were over a page limit.

The book with the most shelves was Wake with 73 shelves. It was also my first book of Shelf-a-thon 4 and I thought I would fly through the shelves. After about book 18, not so much! I loved this challenge and am thrilled to start again with a fresh batch of shelves. Thanks again Angela!
