2009: Challenges – 2010 Reading From My Shelves Project

The 2010 Reading From My Shelves Project, hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea, is all about reading your own books and then getting them out of your house.  So you can see that it’s probably not for everyone. I swap most of the paperbacks I read, so this is one I can probably complete. Here are the guidelines:

• grab the button
• decide how many books you want to read from your shelves (minimum of 20 – no maximum)
• find a new home for the books once you read them
• post the titles and the authors of books you’ve read and passed on
• project runs from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010
• crossover challenge books are allowed

Sign up is at Bibliophile by the Sea! I’m choosing a goal of 30 books. My list will be below:
