This is the first time in three challenges I've actually had the first book hit this many shelves. Some how I don't think that is a good thing.

49 shelves
1 book

If you touched any of the deleted shelves (you can not include ones that were crossed off due to reading a book of a certain number of pages, being randomly selected, or being top three) you can cross off one shelf for each one you touched. Remember it can only be a shelf that you genuinely touched!!
For example, if I crossed off alreadyread because I read a book over 400 pages, this would not count.
Deleted shelves:
alreadyread, canadian, childrens-ya, architecture, keeper, misc, my-collection, my-personal-library, non-fic, need-to-get, recently-read, sciencefiction, listened-to, teen-books, to-read-interloan-sd, and humorous

Crossing off: manga, manga-manhaw, m-m, and graphicnovels

I found last time (my first shelf challenge) that it was real easy to get a whole bunch of shelves at the beginning - but after that, it started tapering off, I would often get only 1 or 2 shelves on a book, sometimes several books in a row with no new shelves hit.
