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.
I just saw that we get to cross off a shelf for reading a Goodreads author. Yeah! My first book was by a Goodreads author so I crossed off "m-m". My adjusted total:49 shelves
1 book
I'm off to a slow start...1 book
17 shelves
1 book61 shelves
including shelf for GR Author: economics
***This only applies if you participated in Shelf-A-Thon 4***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.

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.
yeah...i know i'm checking shelves as i'm reading books to try and figure out which unique ones i might hit...

My last book was over 700 pages so I crossed off "romance-erotica-pnr-to-read", "manga", "harlequin", and "graphic-novel".
