Lucy's Bookshelf Challenge 08/09

[Lucy]

Ok, so I have a problem. I buy far too many books, in fact more books than I can read. It's not an unusual problem (thankfully here at Goodreads I have found a whole online community full of fellow sufferers!). My books have slowly filled up my shelf and are now taking over my room/house; lying in boxes in the attic, under my bed, in carrier bags down the side of my wardrobe!!! So my challenge for this year is to read all the books on my shelf. I won't stop myself buying anymore as I think that would be too ambitious but I will limit myself to what I do buy/loan from the library. I will be detailing my progress on here and also detailing when I've freed up some space for even more books through swaps and donations to the charity shop. Wish me luck!!!

Good luck, Lucy. I completely understand. But are we really "suffering"? Lol.

Lol, I have the same issues with buying books! I can't go by a whole weekend without buying at least one book...(but usually it's 3;)) Good luck with your challenge! I just started mine a month ago and it's been a great way to keep yourself motivated to get through those endless "to be read" books!

I have the same "problem." (I agree with Kathy, we aren't really suffering) I should read what I have on my shelves. But there's just that long list of books I want to buy too. If I buy them, they'll be on my shelves, so that will count...Right? Anyway, best of luck. I can't wait to see what you're reading and if I need to check out any of your books.
