First of all, I apologise that we're a bit late with posting this challenge!

The winter one was so successful that we decided to hold a spring challenge too!

This time around, we thought we could all have a bit of a "spring clean" and work on those towering TBR piles.

Any book acquired prior to March 1st 2012 counts towards this challenge.

This sounds like a good one :) Get some free books off my kindle :)


Amy *Waitforit* | 16 comments Excellent idea! I have popped five on my list to start with but that may grow as time goes on. =)

Marie (sweetmarie83) I'm in, great idea! I have a ton of review books, plus books I own that need to be read and reviewed.

I've set my original goal at 10. I'm already one into the challenge, having read a book I've owned for about a year earlier this week. My blog's kinda booked up for reviews right now, so I'll link the full review when I can...

But for now: Red Gloves by Elizabeth Vaughan (UK version) or Dagger-Star (Star, #1) by Elizabeth Vaughan (US version) turned out to be an okay-ish fantasy that spent too much time delving into the romance plot and not enough time fleshing out the fantasy plot.

Varian Rose I'll do it. I have a bunch of free ebooks that I haven't read yet and this gives me a reason to do so.

Susan | 24 comments Count me in.


message 10: by Madhavi (new)

Madhavi (madhavij) | 19 comments I have 8 books to be read. And they vary from Technical subjects such as Photography, chess to autobiographies.
I hope to complete them too.

I wish GoodReads had a status as "Abandoned". I could use it to tag the books that i find boring and cannot complete.

Jessika (jessika_56) Oh dear, I stopped by the DAV on the way home from work tonight and walked out with 12 books.... oops. I guess that's more to add to my TBR list...

Erin (erinreve) | 14 comments I missed this challenge as I didn't discover Goodreads until the end of April - I hope it becomes an annual spring cleaning event! :)
