#EmptyShelf Challenge, with a twist

 In Uncategorized

I am participating in Jon Acuff’s Empty Shelf challenge. I am an avid reader, so I love the idea of joining in with others to focus on reading moreย in 2014.

My bigger challenge was clearing the space to have an empty shelf. But, that’s when I got an idea. I LOVE to share inspiring books, andย I’ve done it multiple times here on the blog.

So, here is my #EmptyShelf challenge, with a twist. The top pictureย includes the books I cleared off to make an empty shelf. I’ve read all of them, and I want to share them with you to help you add another book to your #EmptyShelf.

emptyshelf I know it’s hard to see some of the titles, so here is a list. I would love to pay these forward to you, as long as you don’t mind a few underlines in the book!

    Since I am late to the party, please just choose one you think I would benefit from. I trust your judgement since we like similar books. I do plan to start writing this year, so that might help you decide. Or if you gave one away that you would highly recommend for a new writer, please just tell me the name. Then, maybe we can meet for coffee again soon, Happy New Year!

    I am participating in this also. I started a FB book club and have my books outlined for the year. I did this to hold me accountable and motivate others to read. I would love to read your Andy Stanley book, The Grace of God.

    I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this! Such a great idea & one of the reasons I initially didn’t join the challenge… I can’t find an empty shelf! Time to purge.
