Reading Challenge: Off the Shelf 2012

Hosted by Bookish Ardour, the Off the Shelf challenge is one I can’t pass up. The main goal is to get books that are already on your shelves (or already on your e-reader) READ. So, all books you OWN that were acquired prior to January 1, 2012 qualify. I have so, so many books sitting around hoping I’ll have time for them. Hopefully this challenge will help me MAKE time! Plus, reviews are optional, which I greatly appreciate. While I usually try to review what I read, there are times I just don’t feel like writing a review. So, I generally try to take the opportunity to NOT review something when it’s just being read for fun.

Rules:

• The Main Rule: Do not include books acquired during 2012, it defeats the purpose, read those books from before 2012 started!
  
• Running Dates: 1st of January – 31st of December 2012
• When Can I Sign Up: All the way up to the last two weeks of December!
• Crossover Genres: Anything! The name of the game is to turn those unread books into read ones.
• Further Details: Crossover challenges are fine, you can change levels at any time, this is eBook, short story, and graphic novel friendly, and you don’t need a blog to join in.

There is a lot more information about rules, reviews, etc. Click on the button at the top of this post to get to the post with all of the details.

Levels:

1. Tempted– Choose 5 books to read
2. Trying – Choose 15 books to read
3. Making A Dint – Choose 30 books to read
4. On A Roll – Choose 50 books to read
5. Flying Off – Choose 75 books to read
6. Hoarder – Choose between 76-135 books to read
7. Buried – Choose between 136-200 books to read

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to aim LOW. I barely had any chances to read books off my shelves this year, and next year might not be much better. So, I’m gonna shoot for Tempted. If I make it, I just might bump it up to the next level. (I’m kinda hoping I’ll be able to!) Here’s a preliminary list of books I really hope I get read for this:

• Twilight
• New Moon
• Eclipse
• Breaking Dawn
• The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

How nice that all of the Twilight books work for this! LOL If I get these done, I’ll add to the list and shoot for 15. Wish me luck!

Update 2/13

Miracle of miracles! I have reached 5 books! And it’s only February. I guess that means I should reach a little higher. So, now I’ll shoot for Trying (15). Hopefully I’ll find the next 10 just as easy to get through!
