Melissa | 74 comments I know it's late in the year, but I love the idea of an unread book challenge, like some others have done, because I have a lot of books in my closet that need to be read.... Especially because I love to frequent library book sales and add to the collection I have. My challenge is to read at least 10 of the list I have by the end of the year because some of the books are long and I'm not sure which books ill select. Next year ill try to make more of a dent.

Leslie | 16369 comments Great idea! Good luck :)

By the way, are these all print books or are you including ebooks?


message 3: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 74 comments Thanks! It's going to take awhile. These are only my print books. I also have books on my nook, but I figured I better start by getting through the print books I have. Unfortunately I'm a slow reader and constantly finding other books I want to read. I thought making it a challenge would encourage me to pick from what I have before going to the library or buying more.

Amber (amberterminatorofgoodreads) That's awesome. Good luck Melissa! ^_^ Whatever books I am unable to read moves onto the next year.


message 5: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 74 comments Thanks Amber! Yes I will definitely be moving books to next year as well. No way I could read all these in a few months! I'm a slow reader.

I'm planning on doing something like this for 2014. Mostly have kindle books I've not read and need to sort this out!
