How the challenge works: 1) Pick 5-10 unread books from your shelves (I avoided sequels) 2) Read the first paragraph of every book 3) Rank the books based off the first paragraphs 4) Add your highest ranked book to your upcoming TBR 5) Invite someone else to do it

The Questions: 1) Do you consider yourself a mood reader? 2) Do you set TBRs and do you stick to them? 3) Do books affect you emotionally? 4) When you're feeling sad, do you like to read sad, happy or neutral books? 5) Most often, do you use reading to escape, learn or critically reflect? 6) What is a book that made you laugh out loud? 7) What is a book that made you cry? If you don't cry, one that moved you? 8) What is a book you didn't even know how you felt about after? 9) Are you more likely to read on a sunny or cloudy day? 10) Do you usually “set the mood” when you read? Music, lights, smells, etc? 11) Can you leap from book to book or do you need buffer time between?
