Welcome to the first mini-challenge for The Dusty Bookshelf! I’m calling this challenge:
Take a Picture
I want you to take a picture of that bookshelf you’ve been neglecting with all those books you are finally going to read this year! I like to look my challenges in the eye so I know what I’m up against. FACE my fears like when I grab a shoe to kill a spider and wail like a banshee. THAT’S BRAVE.
When I take out all the 30 or so books (double-stacked) that I “only” got last year, this is what my shelf looks like.
It’s not as bad as I thought it would be, but they do look rather long and boring. And look! It’s even dusty!!
Jude at In Between Reading and Writing already took a picture of her bookshelf and her post made me laugh. Head over if you want a laugh and some inspiration. :)
There are two ways to do this challenge.
1. Take a picture of your bookshelf. If you don’t have a literal bookshelf of books you are reading for this challenge you can make a montage of the covers, take a screenshot of your Goodread’s shelf…whatever you want! It just has to be a picture so be creative :) (Those of you that like going above and beyond could do a vlog – I will totally watch it!) Be sure to leave a link in the linky widget below of where you posted your picture. I want to see it!
OR
2. Upload your photo to the Goodreads group for this challenge. Be sure to put a caption on it so we know who’s shelf it is! (To upload a photo to the group click “photos” on the right and then “add more photos”)
Honestly, you can do both. I won’t stop you.
And now for this challenges’ THEME SONG.
My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.
I posted mine at Goodread! I love seeing everyone’s books
lol, thanks for the mention x)!! Guess I’ll add the same post? hehe
But I’ve been good and haven’t bought anything good and there’s a readathon coming up so that pile shall shrink.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll go see those book straight in the eye and scream like a… banshee? o_o
LOL Some things make more sense in my head :D I’m not as witty and funny as you! Have fun with your read-a-thon!
Great idea! I’m going to try and find time to do this… I’m a little nervous at seeing the result though. Might make me even more stressed about all the books I haven’t read yet! Might need to do a screencapture because my camera hasn’t been working.
I don’t even have a shelf. My books are amongst others. Under beds… hiding between dust bunnies…
