To-Be-Read
Reading Challenges
All of these boxes contain books. Okay, one has my 5 (yes, 5) work-in-progress manuscripts but there are how-to write books with it. I can say that not all of the books are unread, just too many of them. I need to redo a couple of bedrooms and bring these home so I can read them.
I'm hoping a couple of challenges will help!

Basic requirements: read only books you already own or have requested at the library. Exceptions can be made for book clubs, ARCs, school reading, or just-published-but-forgot-to-preorder-it books.
One year I lasted until the first week of March and one year I didn't even make it to February. I'll also make exceptions for re-reads and new ebooks (hey, some have just published discounts!)

I plan on joining this one too. I'm more impressed that your storage and stacks of boxes look so neat. I know my storage doesn't look that good
Glad to have you climbing with us in 2014!
Thanks for joining the 2014 Rewind Challenge! Good luck with all your TBR challenges, that's a LOT!
Gosh there are a lot of TBR challenges out there.
But I think Dakota makes for the cutest TBR Challenge button.
Thanks for joining us and for helping to spread the word.
