In case you missed it, Shealea @ Shut Up Shealea brought back the Goodreads Spring Cleaning Challenge for another year!

We’re about halfway through this challenge so I thought I’d check in with how I’m doing so far! This will be a short check-in because … I have not done much.

Spring Cleaning Goals

You can find my original post here! I set up goals in 3 main areas: my Goodreads and StoryGraph shelves, my physical books, and addressing my reading challenges.

Goodreads and StoryGraph shelves:

This has become perhaps the most daunting part of this challenge because these two accounts are not as synced up as I thought! I started on a couple of the shelves to make sure they matched across GR and SG but this will take a considerable amount of time so that’s my main focus for the rest of the challenge.

Physical books:

I’ve already updated my ARC journal and I’ve been reading a lot of ARCs the past couple months to catch up on past-due reviews (though I have yet to post them). I also gave one book away and identified another 3 to give away, I’m just waiting for some sunnier weather so I don’t have to leave them out in the rain.

Reading Challenges:

I haven’t done much at all with these, besides writing down which letters of the alphabet I’d still need to read to complete the Alphabet Challenge. But I haven’t selected any books to read for these challenges or looked at what’s available in the library. I’ll start to tackle this once I’m finished going through my ARCs.

---

Not too bad but not too much progress. I’m most looking forward to going through my TBR shelves and stripping them down to the books I really want to read so it’s not so overwhelming (too many books, not enough time).

For those participating, how are your goals looking?
