TBR: Unread Shelf Project March 2020

Not all group members are required to join this swap, this is just for fun, if you wish to try a challenge or if you're not sure where to start!

Information about the Unread Shelf Project can be found here and the monthly challenge list can be found HERE

The suggested book for March: the book that's been on your unread shelf the longest

So, pick up any book you have been given - including ebooks and audio books - and read it before the end of the month. Or, if you start it and think - ick! Why did I want to read this book?! and decided to DNF (do not finish) that's ok too. The idea is to clear out the 'dead wood' taking up space on the shelf or list, find books you really enjoy and stories you love. If you don't have any books gifted to you, you can substitute a book someone loaned you or an ARC you have waiting to be read, as well. Or, if none of those work either, just choose any book - the overall idea is to get books off your shelf, right? :)

After sign up ends and your partners are assigned, just send them an email (you can send the same email to all 3 partners, just be sure to use BCC to send the emails) with the book title and author and then just a few lines about

if you liked the book or not,

if you couldn't finish it, why did you decide not to finish it?

That's it! You don't have to write a book report or review - unless you want to. This swap and the series and the group is more about helping and supporting everyone to tackle the TBR lists than book reviews and recommendations.

Monthly challenges for the year will be:

January - any unread book

February - a book gifted to you

March - the book that’s been on your unread shelf the longest

April - the book you most recently acquired

May - a backlist title (by an author with a newer book out)

June - a book from a series

July - a book voted for you by Bookstagram (or other bookish community)

August - a buddy read

September - a book you’ve owned so long, you forgot where it came from

October - a book that scares you - in content or length

November - a book from your favorite genre

December - the shortest book on your shelf

This list of categories was generated by The Unread Shelf. If something doesn't fit, that's ok. You don't have to join that month's swap. This is just for fun and to help us all tackle our TBR's, find books we all enjoy reading and tame the stacks and lists that we all have.

If you have any questions Please PM me with your questions and I'll reply just as soon as I can.
