Once again I'm signing up for the Off The Shelf Challenge for 2013. Just like my Mt. TBR Challenge, this calls for reading books off my very own shelves. Books can count for more than one challenge, so it's all good.
For full rules and details on how to participate, click on the challenge name above and you'll go right to Bonnie's site. In short, you need to pick a level, sign up on the Linky, and create your own post about the challenge. You cannot use any books bought after the beginning of 2013.
