Right, I've decided to give the 50 book challenge a go, so i just had a hunt around the house and had a look at the shelves to see how many unread book I have because there are lots of books that I received as presents/bought on holidays etc ... over 50 :eek: So I'm hoping to make a dent in that list this year
