Except when it comes to tracking. <br /><br />As for GoodReads - I haven't tried in awhile so maybe this has changed, but it used to be you couldn't have a profile without exposing your zip code/city. But I have accounts with Shelfari and LibraryThing, so all I'd need to do is remember how to log in and either of them would probably work.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574327321984659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705639508539398220.post-52689585668392147802012-08-12T22:57:45.606-05:002012-08-12T22:57:45.606-05:00Well the rules say read because I don't let bo...Well the rules say read because I don't let books out of my house without reading them first so it's a personal rule. If you are comfortable doing this, you are still reducing I would say it counts. :)Stephanie @ Once Upon A Chapterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668989877752439249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705639508539398220.post-44521313543144845922012-08-12T22:54:56.040-05:002012-08-12T22:54:56.040-05:00Well the rules say read because I don't give a...Well the rules say read because I don't give away books without reading them first so it was a personal rule.

If my end goal is cutting back... I have to many to actually cut them all by reading. <br /><br />And of course another part is lessing how many I bring in. That's actually easier for me since I can't AFFORD to bring them in like I used to. Well...I couldn't afford to then either, but hadn't realized it yet.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574327321984659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705639508539398220.post-31117480863360693832012-08-02T05:05:47.690-05:002012-08-02T05:05:47.690-05:00I'm not part of this challenge, so I have no c...I'm not part of this challenge, so I have no clue of the rules, so I'm strictly going on common sense here. I'd think to reduce is the key and therefore it wouldn't matter how the books left, read or un-read, just as long as the pile or piles are being reduced. And you did an awesome there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705639508539398220.post-11533499832535005032012-08-01T21:09:25.388-05:002012-08-01T21:09:25.388-05:00That's great.

I certainly need to figure out something.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574327321984659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705639508539398220.post-22274422446085714432012-08-01T12:06:24.949-05:002012-08-01T12:06:24.949-05:00I am really trying. I don't go to the library ...I am really trying. I don't go to the library anymore! I do give away books and sell them. I seem to be in a neighborhood of non-readers. I had a garage sale and only one woman and one child wanted them and I had set them at free! <br />The good news is that I am down 6 books!. I keep track of my books on a spreadsheet so I can count the ones that I no longer have by the holes.Carol N Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873206816286352639noreply@blogger.com
