I’ve purged my GoodReads “To Read” shelf. What remains (see photo, above) are theoretically books I actually do want to read. And I’m going to clear the shelf during Summer 2013.
Rules of the Clear-the-Shelf Game:
- These books must come from the library unless the library doesn’t stock them. In that case, I will request it from the library and beg or borrow them from friends or acquaintances. Buying is a last resort for this quantity of books!
- If I’m not enjoying a book or it’s not expanding my horizons, I’ll keep reading until page 50. If I’m still not enjoying it, I’ll send it to the “abandoned” shelf.
- I’ll update my reading as much as possible on Sweet & Arch.
- Kid’s books can be read aloud with my kids.
- I will allow myself a non-list read for every list-read I complete.

Wondering how you came up with this list?
Hi Renee. It’s a combination of browsing through bookstores & libraries, getting recommendations from friends and families, and reading other book-lover blogs. I’ve been adding them to my GoodReads for years. 🙂
