Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Duration: set by yourself (depend on how long is your tbr list)

Rule:
Read 10% of your tbr shelf
e.g.: 10 books if your tbr is 100, 20 if your tbr is 200...

I like this idea! Shorten the TBR list!

:)

Okay, I'm still trying to tweak the logistics for this for me but I'm thinking it may look like this:

I'll aim for 54 (since my current TBR is 540)

I don't know about this one as I have nearly 1800 books on my TBR list and it takes TIME (which I don't have) to filter it down. I'll have to think on this.

And the time limit??

Deepika wrote: "And the time limit??"

depend on how many books you are going to read. So you set your own time limit.

Well that is easy, I will wait for my orders to come in though, that makes my to read home to have about 40 books, so 4 books for me to read. :) (and all are in other challenges too, hope that is ok.)

To read:
Koh Tabu. Finished 2-11
Operation Bunny Finished 18-11
The Dead-Tossed Waves 19-11
A Midsummer Tights Dream Finished 7-11

lol... Mehsi, you are lucky :) My tbr is 300+ XD

Wow 300+, good luck with reading. :)

:D I know it is a lot... but some people even have 1000+ XD

Gisbelle wrote: ":D I know it is a lot... but some people even have 1000+ XD"

I can't imagine having 1000+ books on my to read shelf. That is just too much. 40 or so books is more than enough for me. :)

I get it! Even I have only 40... I keep only the ones I HAVE to read! :D
For this challenge I have to read only 4 :)

Same here. And mostly the books on my lists are books I have at home and need to read. Mostly I am restricting myself to buy more books until I cleaned (aka read some of the books) my list.

Gisbelle wrote: "lol... Mehsi, you are lucky :) My tbr is 300+ XD"

Yeah, I have about 600 on my TBR shelf!!!! it's going to take me some time to get through this one! LOL!

it took me about an hour to dig through my TBR last night and add to the list I have above....*sigh* I don't have enough yet ;)

lol... good luck :) I'll add my list soon :D

I have 68 books on my TBR list so that would mean I have to read 6.8 books so I'll round it to 7 :) Not sure which books I'll read...

Great :) You can do it randomly or read the first 7 books in your tbr :D

After a few days of removing books from my tbr, it decreases to 197. So I am going to read 20 books from my tbr. I will post my books soon :)

Good luck :D
