Mizbooks is once again hosting this wonderful challenge which helps readers knock off books lingering on their TBR shelves. All the guidelines and rules can be found here. I also highly recommend joining the TBR Yahoo Group (new members may join beginning December 15, 2007) as it is very motivating to do this challenge as part of a group.
