How I did it: I made a list and stacked up all the books in one area of the bookshelf. Throughout the year, each time I finished a book I picked one up from that shelf and always read at least one of these books and one book club book between every other random book I picked up.

Lessons & tips:

• Don't be afraid to quit a book that you don't like. There is no use wasting time.  By simply starting the book and giving it a chance you discover something about it, and about your own tastes.
• Keep them visible.  The TBR goals are about reading those volumes that you've had sitting on the shelf for ages, so don't put things on your list that you'll have to track down.
• Short and easy book are allowed!

Resources: Since these are supposed to be books we already own, you don't need many resources.

Bookmooch is a great way to de-clutter yourself from a book once you've read it.
