2014 "Deal with the books on your bedside table" Challenge


I received two new books for Christmas this year. The only problem: I still haven't read the three books I received for Christmas last year, nor have I read the two books loaned to me by friends, or touched the books I "had" to buy, or cracked open the A.R. copy of a book that is now in print.  It is time to deal with the books on my beside table. "Deal with" means I may or may not read these books but by the end of 2014 none of these books will be on my bedside table. I may decide to shelf them with other books on the book shelves; I may decide to give them back unread; I may return them to the library half finished. I don't know exactly what I will do with them right now, but I am committed to dealing with them all.

Join me in cleaning off your bedside table of the books that have been languishing there for months or years. Commit  to dealing with them in 2014.

All you have to do is take a picture of your bedside table as it it looks right now. Publish it to your blog or Facebook page and give me the link in the comment section so I can take a look at it.

Don't make this challenge into another guilt trip. Make it one that will actually help destress your reading experience in 2014.

Deal with the books on your bedside table in 2014!
