The Dusty Bookshelf Challenge 2012!

I know, I know, I KNOW, I've signed up to a thousand challenges already! but meh, I probably won't finish half of them, so I'll at least have fun signing up.

The idea of this challenge is to basically be able to say [in Jessica's words] "look at my bookshelf and say unequivocally and without exception, “I’ve read all those books.”"

The Fist thing to do is see how many books we have in our Bookshelf that we have to read *Goes to count*

Holly Mother of God. 95 Books. 95 BOOKS. 95 DUCKING BOOKS. O_O 

Yeah, that's my face.

I Quit. I quit and I haven't even started this challenge.

Look at them. 95 Books:

and This Is You after you see that I have not read Divergent, The Hunger Games and Delirium [Among Others]

You are all plotting my death. and you haven't even seen the e-books.



Guess I'm level Grungy – Read 20+ books

as for the book that has more time there, it would be a year and a half.
Wow, in a year and a half I managed to NOT read 95 Books.
O_O

Organizing Upcoming Reviews

 My camera hates me at the moment and it is refusing to cooperate and I can't show you my planner :(
The idea of this challenge is to be organized. I personally don't like using google docs or stuff online because I always, always forget to check them. I also tried with the calendar in my ipod and alarms and such and I still forget. so I go old school and use a planner and post-its :3

since I have no camera I will describe: on the back of my door I have like a thousand post-its with all the books I must read/review. they are in different colors depending on the need and such.

Blue: must buy
Yellow: must review [Netgalley]
Pink: must review
Green: simply must read asap.

and there's my planner, which has marked all the day in which my galleys disappear and blogtours and everything :3
