2025 Reading Challenge discussion

THIRD QUARTER CHALLENGE: CLEAR THE SHELVES
Duration: July 1 - September 30, 2015

As we move into the second half of the year, it's time to clear our shelves! Many of us (myself included) have shelves full of books that we haven't read. In my case I buy cheap books at secondhand stores or yard sales so my entire top shelf of my bookcase is full of unread books. Others don't buy books, but have to-read lists that are getting out of control.

Either way, pick a goal and try to clear those many books off your shelves!

Feel free to make this your own - you can add extra requirements, like using a random number generator to select books like our randomizer challenge. You could limit the challenge to books you actually own, or tackle the books that have been on your to-read list the longest.

Brianna has volunteered to lead this challenge. Thank you, Brianna!

I will try to clear at least one of my (smaller) cupboards of second-hand paperbacks!
Good challenge!

I'll join in for 12 books - 6 from my Kindle and 6 from my bookshelf. Might add more as we go along, but this is a manageable goal for me:)

Thanks Brianna! I'm excited to participate in this challenge.

I'll try 15 from my physical shelves as well.

I have started a lot of books that need to be finished. I'll finish (or restart from the beginning) 15 books I have already started.

Reading List

Count me in with 6 books!

1. Clockwork Prince
2. Musta mamba
3. Always the Bridesmaid
4. Irish Drinking Socks - A Novel Excerpt
5. The Single Girl's To-Do List
6. The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Oh, man, I have so many that I haven't read... This was already my goal for the year, but I've strayed, so hopefully this will get me back on track.

I'm going to go for 9. 3 per month (I have a couple books I've requested from the library already, so I still need to read those).

1. Reflecting on the Serenity Prayer - 7/11
2. Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married - 7/26
3. To Kill a Mockingbird - 8/22
4. The Year of Fog - 9/6
5. Mansfield Park - 9/12
6. The Summer I Turned Pretty - 9/14
7. It's Not Summer Without You - 9/20
8. We'll Always Have Summer - 9/24
9. The Picture of Dorian Gray - 10/1

I am in. My goal will be 10 books off my book shelves at home, I have been buying more then reading so I have to remedy that

6/10

1 The Magicians July 20
2 Infinite July 31
3 Hex Hall Aug 1
4 Six Earlier Days Aug 21
5 Night of Cake & Puppets aug 21

10

I'm going to go for 8 books right now. I have a couple series I need to finish and then some that I'll be starting. Most of the books are from the Library.

This is the perfect time for this type of challenge for me. It's about time that I cleaned up some of my pile of physical books that I've bought but not yet read. I've been listening to so many audiobooks and reading so many ebooks lately that the pile has begun to get a bit gigantic.

I'm going to attempt to read 9 books on my pile this quarter.

*I know I said I was just going to clear up the physical books I've had sitting around but then I realized I had this one audiobook purchased in 2006 that has been stubbornly unread all these years and that was a chore to get through. So, I'm counting it because it was a harder bit of shelf tidying than anything else I own.

Of course I'm in! I'm going to start small since I'm drowning in library books. Hopefully, I can up this number as we go and give those dusty books on my shelves some lovin'. In no particular order:
