Clear Off Your Shelves Challenge Wrap-up

This one was the perfect prelude to my book-buying ban, designed as it was to read books from your shelves!

The idea was to make sure a certain percentage of your reads came from your shelves. I set myself a target of 33.33%, which I managed to exceed! :D

End of Challenge Rate: 38.46%

  1. That’s a great idea! I have been trying, in a more unofficial way, to read more books from my shelves before buying too many more. What would really be good is if my “to-be-read” list actually started getting shorter instead of longer. I seem to acquire new book ideas much faster than I can read the books.
