I had to put a ban on anyone buying me books this year for Christmas. This was a hard decision to make, because I really do enjoy getting, and collecting new books. However my list of unread books has been growing and growing over the years. I have known all month that I wanted to focus on reading as many books as I could in 2014, and then tonight something happened/

This evening I was reading a blog post by John Acuff. In it he challenged everyone to clear a shelf in their home and fill it with every book read in 2014. I thought this was a wonderful idea, and plan to do so, starting immediately.

How many unread books do you have? Do you think you could fill a shelf by the end of the year? Join us in the #EmptyShelf challenge, and lets see how many books we can read in one year!
