Nice work all those who've managed to finish. This challenge has shown me a few things - before I started, I thought I was fairly well read, and that I read widely in different genres... now I'm not so sure of that!

Hey, Dee -- how cool, we were tied in the stats: 262 shelves and 19 books. 27 books
285 shelves
I have 3 books that I am almost done with and I want to finish next month for stats for Shelf-a-thon 9, since I can't beat my 303 from last time. Are we playing again? I will be really bummed if those shelves are deleted. Ha, ha.
I know, I will just read something for fun...what a concept.

I can't believe it. I'm sitting right at 300 shelves.43 books
300 shelves
1-400+ book, 2-500+ book, and 1-GR author so I crossed off: faves, gay, high-school, i-own-this, keepers, and manga.
If I manage to finish another book tomorrow, I doubt I'll manage to get anymore shelves, so I bet this is my final score.
The good news, is I am feverishly working on Shelf-a-thon 9 since at least one person said they were interested. We'll see what happens. There are some interesting new shelves.
Adienne, I am also interested in round 9. Can't wait!
30 books282 shelves
3 GR authors; crossed off: american-history, sociology and research

1 book pages>500; crossed off not-owned and nothing-yet

I think one of the most fun things about this challenge is just looking at the shelves people create and put books on (whether they work for this challenge or not). Some of the shelves seem a little odd...............
What's even stranger are the books they put on shelves. I recently read a VERY science heavy book. It was about the table of elements for crying out loud! And I seriously hit the fiction shelf with it. REALLY?!
I read one about the Rolling Stones - seriously filled with sex, drugs and rock and roll. And someone put it on a "middle school" shelf - I have to guess that they were making some sort of sarcastic comment.........and the books that get shelved as both fiction and non-fiction!
haha...some of these stories are hilarious ;)

Maybe they liked the Rolling Stones in Middle School? Seems unlikely. Probably they were drunk.
That would be a fun scenario. Wake up the next morning to do some Goodreads sorting and find out you did it the night before. I put Pride and Prejudice WHERE?!
This is the first time I've broken 300 so I'm very pleased with my progress. Bring it on ;)
Oh it's already been broughten. I've always wanted to say that. Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity!!!!
