Show Your Shelves Some Love 2015 Challenge – Sign-Up Post

Show Your Shelves Some Love, No Book Buying Challenge 2015. You got ‘em, now read ‘em! is a challenge co-hosted by Second Run Reviews and Chapter Break.

The goal of the challenge is to abstain from buying new books or in my case, follow a monthly budget for book purchases and focus instead on reading books that you already own. Check the specific guidelines on the hosts’ web pages for more information.

Here are the levels that you can choose from:

Yellow Belt —-> 1-10 books: shake hands with your shelves

Blue Belt    —->11-20 books: pat your shelves on the back

Green Belt  —->21-30 books: give your shelves a warm friendly hug

Purple Belt  —->31-40 books: regular date night with your shelves

Brown Belt —-> 41-50 books: my shelves are now my bff

Black Belt —->51+ books: my shelves and I are going steady

 

I’ve gone way over budget in 2014 when it came to buying books. I totally didn’t think of a ceiling and now my savings are low and I need to rein in my extreme  book-buying tendencies. And I think this challenge will help me cope with book-buying withdrawals that I’m sure I’ll experience soon enough.

For this challenge, I’m going to go with Green Belt and aim to read 21 – 30 books. I think this is a great challenge since it allows me to tackle that ever growing TBR pile at home so *crosses fingers*.
