Sing up here! | Jan. 1 2019 - Dec. 31 2019 | Hosted by NovelKnight
Besides the Goodreads challenge, I have not been participating in reading challenges the last two years thanks to graduate school keeping me busy. However, I am officially done with grad school (as of Dec. 10) and I will now have some more time on my hands! When I stumbled upon this challenge on a few other book blogs I knew I had to give it a try. There are so many books that have been on my TBR pile for quite some time that I have ignored. I am hoping to change that in 2019, especially getting to the books I actually own that are just sitting on my shelf.
My Goal
To read at least one backlist book a month, but hopefully read a total of 24! Let's all keep our fingers crossed. I always have the best intentions at the beginning of the year, and then I kind of just forget about the challenges I have signed up for. I am truly hoping that I stick with this one. Perhaps I will make a physical Backlist TBR Shelf on my bookcase for inspiration.Backlist TBR Pile

I have also decided to join team Ravenclaw!
Which books from my list are must reads?
Will you be participating in Beat the Backlist?
I want to do this one too. I'll be on team Hufflepuff. So glad you are done with your Masters! I can't wait to be done with mine. Maybe keep a TBR Jar and read two books a month?
ReplyDeleteThank you! Hang in there with yours! Love the TBR jar idea. :D
DeleteSuch a fun challenge — good luck! And CONGRATS on finishing up grad school!!
ReplyDeleteI did this challenge the first year it existed and i think it got a bit unwieldy... they’re made some great changes to it over the years though :) I probably should join again but I’m terrible at tracking this sort of thing!
Yes, I read their blog post about how much they have streamlined it. It sounded kind of chaotic before. lol I am so bad at tracking too. I am still thinking of a system!
