Shelf-a-Thon 17 Reporting
We are ready to go!! Let me know if you have any questions.
I will definitely participate. Just need some time to set up my spreadsheet and start entering those books I've already read this month.
Yay!! Glad to see you guys are participating again :)
hang on a second.... daddy-dark-s-baby-warrior-list????just looked it up and yes it's one goodreads member who seems to have that shelf, but it's got more than 10.000 books on there. :)
I had the exact same reaction to that one but some of the books were shelved by 2 people. I figured it's a cross-off :)
I'm back in the game this time.

You did the cross off correctly. I cannot see why you'd want to get rid of that shelf right away, LOL!
It seems like interest in this challenge is fading, which is unfortunate because it is a relatively easy challenge. I hope that some of the old participants come back and also that we can get some new members to join in. As Rebecca stated, you can go back and use any books you read in August. Lets keep this challenge going!!

guilty-pleasures
later
lit
read-2009
scifi-fantasy
