2025 Reading Challenge discussion

CLEAR YOUR BOOKSHELVES CHALLENGE Duration: January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020

This challenge is a way to clean out all of your bookshelves: your physical, your electric, and your audible ones! The books you read for this challenge are books that are already in your possession. Whatever you do for this challenge, you are not allowed to read a book obtained after December 31, 2019 unless you have read at least 5 books you already own.
Here are some ideas on how to choose your books:
1. Read a book that you borrowed from a friend and want to return when finished.
2. Read a book that you have had for two+ years and haven't started.
3. Read a book you have started, set aside for awhile, and now want to finish.
4. Read a book that you own that will help towards a yearly challenge.
5. Read a book from your shelf then donate it to your local Little Free Library, church, shelters, Goodwill, etc.

List the number of
Physical Books:
Ebooks:
Audible Books:
you want to read (listen to).

Happy Reading!

How to Participate

1. Post here telling the Challenge Leader that you'd like to join the challenge. You can choose your books for the challenge at the beginning, or add them as you go. You can join a challenge at any time, as long as the challenge is still active. You must choose a goal for the challenge.

2. Whenever you finish a book for the challenge, post here and let the challenge leader know so they can update your progress.
Please be sure to post the number of books, you have completed every time you post an update. The Challenge Leader is not able to keep track for you because of the number of participants in the challenge.

3. Some members choose to update their original post with their progress to keep track of their challenge more easily, but make sure to also post a new message so the Challenge Leader knows to go look at your original post. In this case, please indicate your progress before you list your books. You can look at how other members report their progress to find a strategy that works well for you.

Example:
message 32 updated! 2/25 books read!

For more information about how challenges work, check out this thread or ask your challenge leader.

PS. Please do not delete posts! It makes updating very confusing for the Moderators! If you decide to leave the challenge, please just let us know. You can edit your original post to say {redacted}. Thank you!

Am in for 50 this year, although really I want to clear half the back-log on my kindle, so will try to push on for 100 when doing other challenges.

Start position for TBR (ironically exactly the same as last year when I read and therefore bought 250 books... I need to stop buying them!!):
15 Audible
26 Laptop
210 Kindle
63 Physical
314 Total

Progress: 102/50 - Extended Mission accomplished now would like to end the year with a lower TBR than I started with!

9 Audible
15 Laptop
38 Kindle
40 Physical

Progress - Dec - OK so this year has been a write off on the getting the list down front,,, I've added over 100 books to my TBR on top of the over 350 I've read...

Audible: 5 read, 8 bought and read = -5 / 10 tbr
Laptop: 18 read, 72 added, 15 added and read = +54 / 80 tbr
Kindle: 58 read, 155 add, 220 read bought & read = +97 /303 tbr
Physical: 22 read, 13 added, 10 bought & read = -9 /54 tbr
Total: 113 read, 240 added, 252 bought & read = +127 /447 tbr

In one final last gasp effort, I've followed my annual tradition of "Sh*t December" where I sort my TBR from worst books to best on goodreads rating score and then start reading the lowest rated - in previous years this has added a lot of books to my "abandoned" pile quickly and whittled down the TBR for the start of the next year. Final sit rep:

Audible: 10 tbr
Laptop: (-13) 67 tbr
Kindle: (-43) 260 tbr (despite going back into Kindle Unlimited!)
Physical: 54 tbr
Total: -56 = 391 tbr

13/25

1. Passport to Death (Ebook)
2. Dragon Teeth (Physical)
3. Into Bones like Oil (Ebook)
4. Into the Jungle (Physical)
5. The Kingdom (Physical)
6. Lethally Ripe (Physical)

9: The Escape Room (Physical)
10: Marked (Physical)
11: The Bone Witch (Physical)

CLEAR YOUR BOOKSHELVES CHALLENGE Duration: January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020

/25** might change

This challenge is a way to clean out all of your bookshelves: your physical, your electric, and your audible ones! The books you read for this challenge are books that are already in your possession. Whatever you do for this challenge, you are not allowed to read a book obtained after December 31, 2019 unless you have read at least 5 books you already own.
Here are some ideas on how to choose your books:
1. Read a book that you borrowed from a friend and want to return when finished.
2. Read a book that you have had for two+ years and haven't started.
3. Read a book you have started, set aside for awhile, and now want to finish.

I am going to set a goal of 50 books this year. I made good progress last year so am aiming higher in 2020. I will be doing a combination of physical and e-books. Good luck to all.

Clear Your Bookshelves
Duration: January 1, 2020-December 31, 2020

Please sign me up for 6 books to start. I will be shooting for 2 physical books, 2 e-books, and 2 Audible books that are in my library as of 01/01/20.

I also really liked Aubrey’s idea of making all the books related to one of the various types of challenges (yearly, quarterly, or monthly) so I will attempt to do the same (as much as possible).
