I'm finally done with my 52 books shelf! Of course, I might change things around a few months in the challenge if it was necessary, but this is the list for now.

:D What about you?

Ghadah (ghadahkhalid) | 16 comments Some of your books look interesting.
Well, this is mine, http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...
But it's not quite done yet. I haven't bought some of the books, and I still didn't reach 52 books, but I'm getting there. :D
I'd like to ask, how can I add a new shelf? I added one 'To-Buy' but when I list the books in it, it gets listed in 'To-Read' as well. I want to make them separate shelves, if it's possible.

It's mandatory here that your books either be in read, to-read, or currently reading.
The "52-books" shelf should be in the to-read, as well. No need for them to be separate.
I answered your question on Manal's post. :D

Ghadah (ghadahkhalid) | 16 comments Oh. Well, thank you so much. And here, this is my official 52-books list, http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Yara | 15 comments Do the books i read for my kids at bedtime count? ^_^ we read a new book almost every 2 weeks.

1412 (monkeyseemonkeydo) Are you allowed to read more than 52 books? I'll get bored... my English teacher expects me to be the top in my class for Reading Logs.

Yara,
They do count if you read them! As long as they are not comic books or graphic novels or anything. :D

Wonhee,
Of course!


message 13: by Johara (new)

Johara Almogbel | 71 comments Erm, I only have 12 on my list for now, because they're the ones I just bought...

Do rereads count?

Johara,
I might have said yes if it was someone else but knowing you...
NO, THEY DO NOT COUNT!
You have to read new books!
Steal titles from people's lists, read classics, or whatever. Just don't re-read your stuff.

I'm not advertising here or anything, but I ordered about 12 books from this site: http://www.bookdepository.com/
Their prices are EXCELLENT and it gets here within less than 2 weeks, with free shipping.


message 17: by Johara (new)

Johara Almogbel | 71 comments Thanks for the website and all (wait... TWO WEEKS?)
Oh, ooooh.... Free shipping!!


message 18: by Yasmeen (new)

Yasmeen (yassoma) | 123 comments Mod
Beats waiting around for vacation so you'd buy the books that aren't available here. And each book is packed individually so you might get one before the other. Like, one in 5 days, the other in 9...etc.

1412 (monkeyseemonkeydo) I'm not going to make a list, I just put it on actual paper.


message 23: by Yara (new)

Yara | 15 comments Yasmine, for some reason the website you provided is not opening with me. :S

I tried google-ing it but gave me unrelated results.

Sorry Yara, I don't know how to help you. It's working fine here.
Did you google 'Book depository free shipping'?

Yara | 15 comments Still not working. I tried at home and my desktop at the office :S
