2017 Beat the Backlist Reading Challenge TBR

 

Disclaimer: Sorry guys but this is going to be a long post!!

Hello bookworms!! The Beat the Backlist Reading Challenge is hosted by Austine @ Novel Knight. The purpose of this challenge is to read books that you have had on your TBR for a while. The challenge runs from January 1st to December 31st 2017 so you have an entire year to complete your goal whether you choose to read 10 books or 100 books. The only rule is the books have to be published prior to 2017. If you want to learn more about this challenge and you want to join in on the fun click the link above.

So a couple weeks ago I did the TBR Book Tag and one of the questions was how many books are on your Goodreads TBR? At that particular time I had 643 and now I am up to 691. Can you tell I have a problem? (LOL) So anyways one of my amazing followers suggested I should take part in this challenge. She sent me the link to it and everything because I had yet to come across it. After I went through and read about it I thought it would be fun and maybe it would hold me accountable and immediately decided I was going to sign up. I just want to say thank you to Ashley @ Inside My Minds for suggesting this challenge to me.

So since I have a lot of books on my TBR I decided for this challenge I was going to pick books that I already own. I was going through all the books that I own and I ended up having way more than I thought I did. I made a list of every single book and that is going to be my TBR (at least what I am gong to go off of) I don’t expect to read every single one of these books but I am hoping to get through at least half of them.

So that is my long list of books that I own that I want to try to get to next year. I am sure there are some that I missed but this is a good starting point. I hope I didn’t put any on the list that are scheduled to publish in 2017.I don’t think I did but as I get to these books I will double check to make sure. So like I said earlier I highly doubt I can get through all these books next year so I am shooting for at least half of them. So that will be 48 books.

 

In addition to the reading challenge I am going to try to participate in the Hogwarts House Mini Challenge. I am not sure how this will go for me but I am willing to give it a shot. So basically you pick which house you will be reading for and then you complete the challenges. If you click on the link above Austine goes into more detail about this challenge. You don’t have to compete in the Hogwarts House Challenge to participate in the Beat the Backlist Challenge you can just do the Beat the Backlist Challenge if that’s what you choose to do. Like I said click on the link above and she will explain it so much better than I am doing. This may prove to be to stressful for me after I start but I am really going to give it a go.

So there you go guys. This is my plans for next year on top of the #ReReadIt Challenge I got my work cut out for me next year. Are you planning on signing up for these challenges? If so leave the link to your posts in the comments below I would love to know what you are planning on reading.
