Today I am super excited to introduce a new feature here at Katie’s Book Blog. This is a feature that Erica from The Book Cellar and I came up with and we are going to be doing it biweekly on Fridays!
The whole idea behind the feature came about when we were chatting on AIM one day. Both of us were complaining about how we never get to read the books that we buy and that we have some super old books sitting on our shelves that have yet to be read. This feature is meant to help us read at least a couple of those books and review them on our blogs.
Rules:
-Books must be published before 2009 (the year that Erica and I both started our blogs)
-Reviews must be posted for all books read
There aren’t very many rules to this new feature. It is more just for fun and a good way to clear off our shelves. Throughout the year I will also be hosting some giveaways to go along with this feature so be on the lookout for From The Back Of My Shelf giveaways!
The actual feature will start on July 8!
That’s a really good idea!! I feel the same way! Like, I’ll buy a book and then get other books and completely forget about the one I bought. Great idea!! 🙂

This is a brilliant idea! Gives me a reason to go back to my bookshelves and pull out the books that intrigued me back then, but I ran out of time to read and then shiny, new, buzzed about books take their place. Looking forward to participating. 🙂

This sounds awesome!!! =) Very excited!
Very cool idea Katie!! I too have all the prior to 2009 blogging books gathering dust on my shelves 🙁 LOL It’s sad to think about! I look forward to your reviews! Maybe it will inspire me to dig out some of mine 🙂
l look forward to your reviews as most of the time reviews are for new books on most blogs so l hope to find some new, old books!
This is a great idea and good for bloggers who want to read something they choose instead of just review books.
Love the graphic button 🙂
