Let's just get this out of the way; I have a large collection of owned books that I have yet to read. I have a hard time saying no to new books. They fill every nook and cranny around me and others dwell in that wonderful Amazon cloud. Catching site of a title will at times remind me how I really need to read that book soon; it stares back with its loving puppy dog eyes begging to be read next. So in an attempt to curtail so of my buying I have vowed to tackle some of these loveable puppy dog eyes with this challenge.
Basic Rules - for full details and sign-up see My Reader's Block blog.
*Once you choose your challenge level, you are locked in for at least that many books. If you find that you're on a mountain-climbing roll and want to tackle a taller mountain, then you are certainly welcome to upgrade. All books counted for lower mountains may carry over towards the new peak.
*Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2014.
*Books must be owned by you prior to January 1, 2014. No ARCs (none), no library books. No rereads. [To clarify--based on a question raised last year--the intention is to reduce the stack of books that you have bought for yourself or received as presents {birthday, Christmas, "just because," etc.}. Audiobooks and E-books may count if they are yours and they are one of your primary sources of backlogged books.]
*You may count any "currently reading" book that you begin prior to January 1--provided that you had 50% or more of the book left to finish in 2014. I will trust you all on that.
