Hi,
I've been seeing this challenge around and I thought that it really won't hurt to join in the fun. I've been hoping to get through books that have been sitting on my shelf for YEARS now and this is, obviously, the perfect challenge for me.
For my tentative to-read-list, I decided to go with 10 physical books and 10 eARCs I have. The physical books are divided by adult and YA fiction. And the eARCs are divided by those I received in 2018 and those I received 2017 and earlier.
Beat the Backlist Reading Challenge is hosted by NovelKnight. I will try and participate on other challenges such as the weekly photo challenge. However, I will surly join the Hogwarts Mini Challenge under team Hufflepuff :)

HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS,
Are you joining Beat the Backlist Reading Challenge? What are your reading goals for 2019? How many backlist books do you have?
let's connect!
I did this challenge last year. I have a hard time keeping track, but I love the idea. I feel like I did a lot of reading last year of books that weren't new releases, but not necessarily a ton that I already owned (I used the library a lot). In 2019, I really want to read more of the books on my shelves! I really liked Night Film though, so hopefully you will too.

keeping track will partly be my issue as well but I'd like to see how I'll go about it. I really want to get through books my shelves! Thanks for reassuring Night Film. I know it's good but I'm also partly scared to start it. Thanks, Lauren :)
DeleteThanks for joining Beat the Backlist! I haven't read any of the books on your TBR but I do hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
And thanks for hosting the challenge, Austine! :D
DeleteI did this last year (not as a challenge because I suck at challenges lol) and made major headway. I started at 140-ish and got below 40 books. Of course, I added new books throughout the year so I'm not down to 40 books total but I really made a dent in books that had been on my shelf for YEARS.
ReplyDeletegood luck!

ahh, I hope I can do the same with the books I already own. I really want to read more than what I buy.
DeleteThanks, Karen!
