I'm reading from my shelves, too. we got new bookshelves and with it a chance to reorganize the books to make them easier to find and pick from. so far so good! :)
Reorganizing bookshelves always makes me want to read my own books too! I shifted mine around last fall, and I think that's part of what inspired this year's goal.
I too am trying to read from my shelves!! From Jan 1 - Feb 15 I set a goal to only read from my shelves for print books. Audio, I only get from the library so I could continue doing that. It ended up being the perfect little six week challenge, and I'm going to repeat it again next year for sure. I might even do it again later in the summer.
I'm also doing two more little reading experiments. 24 countries in 24 books (a lot of these books for this I am pulling from my shelves, so it helped with goal 1 above) and also, I'm hoping to read all of Zadie Smith's novels this year. Each year I pick an author and try to read all their stuff.

I love the idea of a short-term focus like that! Anything seems feasible for six weeks :)
Your other two projects also seem very fun, especially if you can combine them together. Sounds like a great year of reading!
