1 GR Author - Crossed off Economics
For some reason I was thinking the three month blocks for this challenge lined up with the blocks from the Seasonal Reading Challenge. I came to check the thread last week and was surprised to find I'd missed the end of Shelf-a-thon 7 by almost a full month! (oops)Hit 6 shelves in round 7 that aren't on the list anymore (and also bookcrossing-com and dtbooks, but those were with bonus cross offs which don't count(?))
Crossed off: bookcrossing, contemporary-romance, erotic-romance, harlequin, own--not-read, warehouse
Now to go remake my list so that it starts from last month :)

We'll catch you up, no problem!
And you're right, the bonus cross-offs don't count. You have to hit the shelves with an actual book read.
