As many avid book readers know, there are more books than hours to read them. Thus, I have a HUGE pile of books from last year and the years before that that I've been meaning to read... And just never got around to!
Then I ran across this challenge to Beat The Backlist. It's pretty easy; you're assigned to a team and the more books you read from your backlist (i.e., anything published before this year), the more points your team gets. Plus there's random prizes each month if your team wins, along with some challenges! Anyway, it's pretty relaxed, but just kind of a fun way to keep myself on track and accountable for clearing off that TBR a little bit!
I challenged myself to read 100 books this year, and I want half of those to be books on my backlist! I've been doing pretty good in January so far!
Oh, and my team is the Book Bards! Such a fun name!

Yay! Welcome to the challenge! And we're on the same team! :) I also challenged myself to 50 books. I've been doing pretty well, but then I just went ahead and requested a bunch of Netgalley books, so we'll see how this next month goes. :p Good luck and happy reading!
