Clear Off Your Shelves Challenge 2009

I have a ton of books calling my name. Books that I just want to read because ‘I’ want to read them. However, review commitments seem to be taking up all my reading time lately so they sit patiently, waiting for me to pick them up. One example is The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I bought that book when it came out (that was a long time ago) and it sits on the shelf, looking at me longingly, hoping that I will pick it up someday.
Is this you? If so, you may want to consider Swapna’s challenge. It’s time to clear off your shelves!
This challenge will work a little differently than other challenges. Instead of picking a set number of books to read during this time period, you will pick a percentage. This means that a certain percentage of the books you read during these two months will have to qualify for this challenge. For example, let’s say you pick 40% and you end up reading 10 books in October and November. 4 of those books would have to qualify for this challenge in order for you to complete it. I am setting a minimum percentage of 20%.

  1. This is a new challenge that I hadn't hear of before this. (I need this this one something awful)LOL so thanks Ti for bringing it to my attention.

  2. This is definitely a challenge that I "should" join, but I am having a hard enough time keeping track of the other challenges in which I am involved. I will definitely be giving it some thought though.

  3. Oh, you evil person, you! I just joined the Random Reading Challenge awhile ago to help my beautiful pile of unread books. I must resist! I must resist!

  4. I will be joining this challenge too. I've been working on getting my review copies reviewed so I could dip into my existing stacks. I am finally down to my last one. The timing couldn't be more perfect. Now to decide on a percentage.
