Reading Challenge 2020: Start on Your Shelfathon
What is #StartOnYourShelfathon?
#StartOnYourShelfathon is a 2020 star-themed readathon hosted and run by CW from The Quiet Pond. The aim of #StartOnYourShelfathon is to read as many unread books on your bookshelf as you can between December 13th 2019 and December 31st 2020.
#StartOnYourShelfathon isn’t an ordinary readathon too! The mascot of #StartOnYourShelfathon is Castor the Star Collector who is also a sloth friend of The Quiet Pond, who has lost all the stars he has collected over the years and needs your help to find them again. For every book that you read as part of #StartOnYourShelfathon, you collect a star that you can add the star to your ‘star map’. Read books, collect stars, give yourself an amateur star-collector name, and create constellations! You can read Castor’s story and find information about and resources for the readathon here.

My #StartOnYourShelfathon TBR
I’m not the best at posting my TBR lists on the blog since I’m more of a mood reader, but I do plan on sharing TBR stacks that I plan to tackle during this yearly challenge.
I might possibly do a wrap-up/mini reviews of this books too. I have so many unread books on my shelves and I’ve been trying to working on reading what I own and buying less books. Here is the first stack/set of books I plan on reading for this challenge!

Oh, that’s so fun. Did you end up reading some of these in December, or are you still planning on them for 2020?
I am finishing up one book (Tandem) now, I hope to have the rest of the first of this TBR stack done by the end of of February 2020. I’m going to take my time with this challenge.
