Overview

Requirements: At least 5 Unread books in your shelf

This challenge is all about reading five unread books that you already own — the ones sitting on your physical bookshelf, waiting to be picked up. The goal is to explore your personal collection, reduce your unread pile, and rediscover why you wanted to read these books in the first place. 

No library loans, no new purchases — just you and the stories already in your home.
Feel free to pick any genre, format (paperback, hardcover), or length. It’s a great way to clear space, make room for new favorites, and finally give those books the attention they deserve!
