2010 Reading From My Shelves Project<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

So, as the year 2010 began, I found inspiration in a fellow blogger\u2019s quest to empty their book-laden shelves. In truth, the mission was really simple. Read the books I already owned and then pass them on to new readers. Easy-Peazy. The 2010 Reading From My Shelves challenge presented the perfect chance to reread my personal collection, reduce clutter and spreading the love of reading books. Of course, I eagerly accepted the challenge, setting a personal goal to read 25 books from my shelves. Here\u2019s a recap of my literary expedition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January – March (Book 1-5): <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Books I Read:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    These timeless works were gifted to my community library. The librarians were ecstatic to add such esteemed novels to their collection, and I was content knowing that these tales would find new audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    April – June (Books 6-10): <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      These profound narratives were entrusted to a local secondhand bookstore renowned for its curated selection of literature. In exchange, I received credit, which I intend to use judiciously to prevent a restocking of my now-spacious shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      July – September (Books 11-15)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Where I Donated The Books: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        I exchanged these enchanting tales with a friend whose children are budding bibliophiles. The kids were overjoyed to embark on these fantastical journeys, and I was delighted to ignite their youthful imaginations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Challenge Completed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          The 2010 Reading From My Shelves Project proved to be a deeply fulfilling endeavor. I really enjoyed it. It allowed me to indulge in exceptional stories and significantly declutter my living space. The act of rehoming each book was immensely satisfying, as I knew they would continue to spread joy. This challenge reinforced the importance of sharing and the pleasure of giving. For those with shelves brimming with unread books, I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on a similar adventure. Wishing you joyful reading and successful decluttering!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
