Bookshelf/TBR: Read the 13th book on the bookshelf and the 13th book on the TBR list - My        bookshelf  isn’t quite organized enough to count, so for this one I’m going to do the 13th book from both the top and bottom of my TBR list....

    Grand Total: 65 books - 9/65....56 to go!

Of course I could never find the time to read a different book for each one (unless of course I gave up working, bathing, eating and doing housework...I would love the benefits of not eating, but I'm pretty sure the other three would not fly with those around me) so there will definitely be some crossover between the categories. Let the reading begin!
