I like how you did it Barbara. I keep changing my boxed sets around, not happy with them. I like the idea of reading things on one subject by different authors, but I keep adding or subtracting to my boxed sets. I thought about just removing all of them and keeping my notes of them printed off on paper.

It's easier to make changes here than on paper. I had mine on paper and ran out of room as I added new titles. This is much easier.

I had fun browsing your sets..will visit again..LOL!

Your box sets are so cute Barbara! (And a little on a big size, but that does not seem to deter you, hehe)

I just add em as I find em and read em when I can. I think I'm going to split them to 2009 and 2010 when the time comes and just roll over the books I haven't read.

Yup moved all the unread titles to a new box set challenge. Kept only the sets that had three or more read.
