But you see, this one will actually HELP me....


Yes, it's another challenge, but this is a good one - it will help me whittle down my increasingly gigantic piles of books sitting around the house.

This challenge is hosted by Andi, with a dedicated blog at Reading in Order Challenge.


Here's the scoop:

Goal: To read through one's stacks (a bookcase, several bookcases, the entire "to be read" pile, etc.) alphabetically.

The rules: Read alphabetically by author or book title. Make allowances as you see fit.


So here are the allowances I will make:

This will be interspersed with library books, review copies, etc.

My shelves aren't all in EXACTLY alphabetical order, so this will sometimes be loosely alphabetical - sometimes not really alphabetical at all. But it will definitely be in the order the appear on my shelves.

I have a couple of random, not in any order whatsoever stacks lying around that I am going to read through first, so the alphabetical thing will be on hold for a bit.


Do you think I am breaking enough of the rules already?? Well, Andi can kick me out if she wants. =)

  2. I have my books arranged by color so I think I am screwed on this one!

  3. I think it's great that Andi created this challenge. Sometimes I look at my TBR stacks and think I should do the same thing--or just pick a letter and read all the books with authors whose names end in that letter. Maybe someday. :-) Good luck with the challenge!

  4. I have to say....the title on this post just cracked me up!!! I don't think I could do this ... I'm just not able to read things in order like that! I just can't!

Boo for spambots! Yay for real commenters! Too many of the former is making me crack down, but if you are one of the latter, I'd love to know what you have to say!
