As readers, we all have so many books to read on our physical shelves, NetGalley shelves, and library shelves. We created this challenge to motivate us to read books we already own or that we have been putting off for a long time!!!

* Starts: November 1, 2023
* Ends: December 31, 2024

* There are 60 prompts (some repeated) to help you pick and read books you already have on your shelves.
* There are two templates you can use- a bookshelf style you can fill in with the prompts listed separately, or a bookshelf style where with book boxes you can use to add the book cover
* Books must be at least 100 pages
* Books must be middle grade or higher

 * books on your shelf now (physical, digital, or audio)
 * books you put on hold at your library before Nov. 1, 2023
 * arcs currently on your NetGalley shelf (new or backlist)
 * arcs you have requested before Nov. 1, 2023
