Overview

If you're like me, you have about a million books gathering dust on your bookshelf, gifts and self-gifts forgotten in the hope that one day they'll see the light of day.

I've created this challenge to kickstart my decluttering era and my cleaning day starts now. Join me if you're in the same mood.

(NOTE: I've got the same challenge for digital books if you're also interested!)
