The Random Reading Book Shelf Challenge
Goal #4 on my Goals for 2011 list is to read books from one of my bookshelves. On Feb. 18th I randomly picked a bookshelf. I decided to pick from my Juv/YA shelves to make the goal more realistic and I picked the bottom shelf on the left because I couldn't see what was on it. The shelf is in a dark spot. More surprise that way :-)The shelf is double stacked with books squeezed in for maximum use of space with no order, rhyme or reason to what is shelved together, though I do try to keep series books together.
The goal here is to read the entire shelf (or as close as possible) and move out of the house as many books as possible. I blindly grabbed a stackful of books and am working on those at the moment.
1. The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White (keeper)
2. The Cay by Theodore Taylor (put on Bookmooch)
3. The Seventh Princess by Nick Sullivan (put on Bookmooch & gave away!)

5. The Boxcar Children #1 by Gertrude Chandler Warner (I'm collecting the 1st 19 books. keeper)
