But not anymore… gear up to read each and every book on your2 bookshelf in order to clear your conscience 😉 To participate in this challenge, write an announcement post with the logo and if possible add picture(s) of your bookshelf. To follow the discussion board of this challenge visit here at RMFAO. Also please leave a comment below with the link to your post, so that I can visit your blog and also know who all participated. Lets read all the books on our over-loaded bookshelf so that we can buy many more!

    If I were to photograph my bookshelves, Heena, I think I’d need to give them a tidy up first. Most of my shelves have books lying stacked on top of the ones standing. Evidently, I just need more bookshelves! Yours are so neat!

        I’ll make a concerted effort to do so – just for you. I can’t guarantee the photos will be good, though.My photography skills are severely lacking!

    That’s a pretty diverse collection there! Mine looks like the fantasy section of your average bookstore threw up all over it, haha.

      Heheh… But I’m sure you have all the best fantasy books. Your book choices really intimidate me.
      Please take out some time and click you shelf’s pics, so that we can see your ultimate fantasy collection 🙂

        Lol, it’s not that big, I have most on Kindle, unfortunately. I tend to pick paperbacks of the stuff I really like, and mostly those are only sold a full year after hardcover releases. I’ll be joining you for this challenge, though, so expect a post with pictures on my blog! ^__^

    I couldn’t really photograph all my bookshelves and books that I still need to read. It’s a bit ridiculous. This is a great idea for a challenge. I’ve been trying to read as many of my own books as I can in the past year.

          I hope that she settles safely! Don’t you worry Sue! Everything will be great 🙂
          But I’m not gonna let you off the hook that easily. You’ll have to promise me that you’ll participate and read atleast 5 books you like this year! It’ll be a great challenge for you to get into reading once again 😀

    My book shelves, both physical and digital, are teetering towers! I keep adding more to the “to read” column on Goodreads and need a few more hours in the day to keep up with the “reading/read” pile! Always fun to peruse others’ shelves ….

    The books I buy usually end up sitting on the shelf for months. This is a great challenge. Good luck!

    I really should participate in this, but I never succeed with blogging challenges so I think I’ll just try to make it a personal goal. You have some nice books! I’ve read a lot of these! (and want to read many of the others) Good luck!

    Great books there! I have books spreading out from the bookshelves into floor stacks – and then there’s the tablet with the e-books too! 🙂

    I’d need to do screenshots of my collection of books in my Kindle and iBook Apps (which I read on my iPad Air) to show all my “To Be Read” books. Although I do have a few real live books most of them are ebooks due to my geeky nerdiness (new word). I can’t even look at my Amazon book purchases for the year. I bet the total could feed a minuscule country. Or not. Good luck on your reading journey. Last year I read 304 and this year hope to read 285 or possibly more depending upon my boredom level.

      I’m planning to start a new challenge for e-books because even I have around a 1K books on my Note and around 600 on my Kindle and around 200 on iBook App.
      Thanks a lot! And all the best to you too.
      I wanted to read 200 this year but as I’m busy with the editing of my own novel, I don’t think it’ll be possible… so maybe next year!
      Have a great day!
