Off the Shelf 2014

I’m signing up for the Off the Shelf Reading Challenge hosted at Bookish Ardour again this year.

From Bookish Ardour:

About: The Off the Shelf Reading Challenge is probably the most popular challenge there is on BA. The goal? To read books on your shelves that have gone unread for far too long. Selecting books from the year before (in this case, 2013 and before), read as many of the unread ones as you can. It’s up to you if you want to keep them or give them away afterwards, the main goal is to turn those unread books into read ones.

The Main Rule: Do not include books acquired during 2014, it defeats the purpose, read those books from before 2014 started.
Running dates for all 2013 challenges: 1st of January – 31st of December 2014
