Rid-or-Readathon 2025

whitewolff Host

14 participants (131 books)

01 Jan 2025—31 Dec 2025

Overview

Pick your 12 at the start of the year and add them to the challenge. They have to be books you *already own* (no cheating and buying new books before you start, pick the ones that have been sitting on your shelves for far too long that you want to finally tackle or admit you never will).

Each month if you don't read one of the books you have to get rid of one.  Let's get those shelves clear one way or another.
