Book that hit the most shelves - The Titan's Curse with 77 shelves

[Angela]

Sara for your total books you have 46, but you have one shelf that was touched 49 times. I am confused.

[Angela]

Please post your final stats by Saturday night and I will announce the "winners" for next round. Thanks :)

[Kim]

I forgot to post that my book that hit the most shelves was Gone by Michael Grant for 70 shelves.

[Sara ♥]

I thought that way back we said that we weren't supposed to count books that didn't touch any new shelves? I dunno... I'm just making it up as I go. I read 55 books total during the challenge time frame.
