Beat the Backlist – TBR

 

Hello, everyone! I’m here with another challenge/readathon – this time it’s a year long one and it will probably be a huge challenge for me because I’m a huge procastinator. I was pretty undecided about whether to join Beat the Backlist or not because I’m very bad at reading books I should have read a while ago, especially if it’s for a game/challenge. My brain does funny stuff all the time. But then I thought – the whole thing sounds so fun, like a Harry Potter competition, do the thing, MARTAAA – and I also made a poll on Twitter and here I am.

 

The Rules :

The challenge will run from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. You have an ENTIRE YEAR to complete your goal!

Books must be released prior to 2018 to count for this challenge. Although we love new releases too, this isn’t the challenge for them.

 

So, I have to read as many books as possible, but without counting the 2018 releases. I have a huge TBR coming for me, I will chose some and you’ll have to cheer me on this crazy thing.

My Goal : 40 books

That’s quite a lot considering the fact that I usually read 70-80 books per year, so at least, half of the books I read should be old releases in order for me to win this challenge. We shall see how it goes!

 

Have you joined Beat the Backlist? How many books have you set for your goal? What’s your team? Tell me everything!

P.S. : I’m with the Dewey Dragons.
