Biblophile by the Sea is hosting the 2010 Reading From My Shelves Project. Participants are asked to decide how many books they want to rid their shelves of during 2010. Books should be read and then found a new home (easy for me as a bookcrosser).
I've decided to aim for 36 books, 3 per month. I could easily have doubled that number but I wanted to be realistic. I've also created a list as I want to focus on books which have been lurking years or that are bookcrossing books which I shouldn't be hoarding.

I really need to do a challenge like this. You've got some great reading there. I've read the Pearl, Meek, Robinson, and McEwan books and enjoyed them thoroughly. Happy reading.
Thanks so much for joining this 2010 project. I hope it helps us all :)
