I'd like to do this but don't think I have the funds
Finally, motivation to actually find and read the books at the beginning of my TBR list! It's to the point where I had to create a "remember to read" bookshelf...Here's my link

OMG I LOVE you guys!! We're working on the 2015 yearly reading challenges so once we finished setting them up tonight we're going to be sending out a blast letting everyone know :) but I'm so happy that you're excited and joining already YAY!
WooHoo!!! I'm SO looking forward to this RC because I really need help digging out all of the old old books that have been buried in my reading shelves for like forever!
I am so excited about this! The only problem is that most of the books on my TBR list were added within the last few months as I only found Goodreads not that long ago.
Yeah, I just checked and only about 10 of the books on my TBR shelf are more than 9 months ago. Can I still join the yearly challenge?
Savannah wrote: "Yeah, I just checked and only about 10 of the books on my TBR shelf are more than 9 months ago. Can I still join the yearly challenge?"Yes Savannah, you sure can. This is where logic and fair judgement comes into play. If you haven't been on Goodreads for less than a year, then of course your TBR shelf isn't going to have books in them that meet the minimum shelf time requirements, but just try and read ones that have been published for at least a year :)
Okay, great! I would have been so sad! Thank you, :-)
Tasha wrote: "I'd like to do this but don't think I have the funds"You can use library books or any free ebooks for this Tasha if that helps. You don't really need to buy any books necessarily.... let me know if you want/need suggestions and we'll be more than happy to help Tasha :)
Savannah wrote: "Okay, great! I would have been so sad! Thank you, :-)"You're most welcome and we're very happy to have you join in Savannah :)
There's the library and I have a pretty extensive selection of Ebooks. I'm also pretty good at finding books online if you're interested. I read at least 100 books a year but I only buy about twenty. I would be homeless if I had to buy every book I read. Tasha wrote: "I'd like to do this but don't think I have the funds"
I'm definitely going to join this one. I've been collecting so many books and I keep reading new ones instead of the ones sitting in my kindle, Dropbox and google drive. I don't know how to link to a shelf though.
Eta link. https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Yay! Great Doomswife, the more the merrier and I toally agree with you on the free ebooks. I get SO SO many free books that honestly there's no real reason to have to purchase unless you want to, which of I do LOL! Too much, I'd say.
Okay so for linking in your bookshelf, just go into your reading shelves and create a new bookshelf for this challenge. Name it TBR CLEAN UP, then select it so that it's the bookshelf that is open. Even if it's empty because you haven't yet added in the books you plan to read for this challenge, you can add them in as you go, or once you have them. Then, go to the up to the browser (while you have the TBR CLEAN UP shelf open) and highlight the "link" in the browser which is = https://www.goodreads.com/review/list and copy it then come here to your comment box and just paste it in and click on the post button. Once you click on post your link to your shelf will show.
To copy the link, once you double-click the browser (https://www.goodreads.com/review/...) it will become highlighted then right-click on it and select copy from the menu that displays, or you can also - once it's highlighted - click on it holding down the Ctrl + C keys on your computer keyboard and then come to your comment box here and click and then hold down the Ctrl + V keys and your copied link will be pasted in, and once you click on post your reading shelf link will be displayed :) I hope this clear, if not let me know.
I'm in most definitely. I need SO much help cleaning up my TBR. Here's my shelf https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Tips on ebooks would be great though, thanks :)

We also have a Free eBooks thread in the group that you should check out too Tasha. Lots of free books get posted on that discussion thread. Here's the latest link to this discussion so just stop by on a regular basis to check out the freebies members share :) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...I need this challenge! My TBR books are literally pilled up on the floor because they don't fit on my TBR bookshelf (yes I have an actual TBR bookshelf in my spare room). Unfortunately though almost of them I bought less than 9 months ago.

I'm interested in this too...I have a lot of overflow from last year's Series Challenge! Here's

That should be okay Nicole, since like I explained before, 9 months for you owning them and/or having added them to your TBR is fine and as long as the release dates for the books is at least 1 year then it's all good :)

Thanks, cause I really don't want to have to wait 9 months to read them haha. My TBR bookshelf needs to be emptied ASAP (not to mention all of the TBR's on my kindle). I've committed myself to not borrowing or buying any more books until I've at least cleared a shelf. Which is really hard with all of the sales on at the moment.
Do the books have to be in your TBR list for 9 months? As I generally only put the 1st book in a series in the TBR and then read the series back-to-back but only the first book will be in there.
Dee wrote: "Do the books have to be in your TBR list for 9 months?

As of right now I am excited and motivated so here's my shelf:https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

@ Belkis: There are some that I haven't had on my TBR list long 'cause I hadn't heard about them, but if they're a year old or more, will they still count?
Katy wrote: "Dee wrote: "Do the books have to be in your TBR list for 9 months? As I generally only put the 1st book in a series in the TBR and then read the series back-to-back but only the first book will be ..."Yup Katy, you're good to go as long as the books release dates are 1 year or more :)
I was planning to do this anyways, but the more motivation the better!https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

You're welcome :)
There are a few sites that have free ebooks, and libraries have ebooks as well. Tuebl.ca is one I use a lot. I also use torrent sites. I can pretty much find anything so if you find yourself looking for something I can try to find it.Tasha wrote: "Doomswife wrote: "There's the library and I have a pretty extensive selection of Ebooks.

I actually when through earlier in the year and deleted alot of my TBR list, mainly just leaving the first book in the series. My list on Goodreads is currently sitting at 1368 books...and Ive been really good at not adding as many this year (only 49 that wont count for this challenge!!)
So with hopefully with my kindle arriving in the new year, I will be set :-)

Is your TBR getting out of hand? Do the books just keep piling up? Do you keep adding newer releases and forgetting about the older ones? If the answer is YES to all of these and you'd like some help cleaning up your TBR and finally getting to some of the older books you have stored for a long time but never seem to get around to reading them, then this challenge is for you!
Here are the guidelines for this challenge:
1. You must read a minimum of 2 books a month, each month. But you're welcome to do more if you want to LOL!
2. You can use books that are part of other reading challenges as long as they meet the guidelines.
3. The books must have been released for at least 1 year minimum, but of course can be older than that.
4. The books must have been added in your TBR shelves for at least 9 months, but can be older than that.
5. The books can't be short stories or novellas. They need to be at least 150 pages.
6. The books can be any genre and/or part of any series.
7. You will create a book shelf in your books and name it "TBR CLEAN UP" where you will add-in your books each month.
8. Once you agree to participate, just come here to this challenge thread and post the link to your shelf.
I know I can most certainly use all the help I can get in cleaning up TBR and I especially need to find the older books that keep getting buried underneath newer releases every month.
This challenge will start on January 1, 2015 and end on December 31, 2015.
Let's start cleaning!!
