Diane at Bibliophile By The Sea is again hosting the Reading From My Shelves Project in 2011. I joined last year and made it a goal to meet the minimum of 20 books (I cleared 24). I’m joining up again for the 2011 challenge and hope to surpass that number.
Click here to join the challenge.
Details:
- Challenge runs from January 1 – December 31, 2011.
- Read books from your own shelves, and then pass the books on to someone else: a friend, relative, the library, used book store, swap them, just as long as the book leaves your house once it has been read.
- Decide on your goal (12 is the minimum – no maximum). Cross over books are allowed.
- Grab the button and do a post about the challenge.
- Keep a running list of the books you’ve read and passed on.

This is a no-brainer challenge, isn’t it Dar? I think all of us book bloggers have mountains of TBR books so it could be the never-ending challenge 🙂

Staci, glad you’re joining too – I’m accepting fewer review books next year so I can clear more of my own books. Good luck to you too!

What a wonderful challenge. I love some of the books I read and may have a hard time letting them go but how nice to pass on stories I love.

I have never joined a challenge – just don’t need the extra pressure! – but this one sounds valuable. I have so many stacks of books on my shelves waiting to be read.
Have to think about this one…thanks!

I think I could be joining you in this one as I’ve been meaning to re-read the books on my shelves if only to sort out which ones could go to the charity shop, freeing up some room for books I’m more likely to read.
