Beat the Backlist Update

That’s right, it’s that time of month again (late by about two weeks, but, oh well).

My goal for Beat the Backlist 2018 was to read 50 books on my TBR published before 2018 (with any ‘random picks’ counting as bonuses but not towards the 50).

In June, I read 3 books, 2 of them on my TBR list.  If I didn’t know how well July was going so far, I’d be depressed at this rate of progress…

That puts me up to 16/50 (+6).  Yikes!  I really need to do a lot better; it’s too bad this year has been so meh reading wise, especially since I feel like I’ve mostly enjoyed my reads.

I hope you’re doing a lot better than I am, everyone else participating in this challenge!

Beat the Backlist Update

So I fell waaaay behind on this.  Whoops.  Here’s an update for the past 3 months, not that I’ve gotten much reading done…

My goal for Beat the Backlist 2018 was to read 50 books on my TBR published before 2018 (with any ‘random picks’ counting as bonuses but not towards the 50).

In March, April, and May, I finished 6 books but 1 of them was published this year and only 2 came off my TBR list. (2 reviews have not yet been published because I am very behind, which is why this list does not match reviews on my blog)

This puts me up to 14/50 (+5).  I really need to get reading.

Hope everyone else is making progress!

Beat the Backlist – February Update

My goal for Beat the Backlist 2018 was to read 50 books on my TBR published before 2018 (with any ‘random picks’ counting as bonuses but not towards the 50).

In February, I read 8 books, all of them off my TBR (3 rereads that didn’t get reviews) but one of them was published this year.

So, in the first two months of the year, I am at: 12/50 (+2).

Not bad at all.  Here’s hoping I can keep it up!

Good luck to all the other participants but especially my fellow Novel Knights!

Beat the Backlist – January Update

My goal for Beat the Backlist 2018 was to read 50 books on my TBR published before 2018 (with any ‘random picks’ counting as bonuses but not towards the 50).

In January, I read 7 books published before 2018, but 2 of them were random grabs.

In summation: 5/50 (+2)

Here’s hoping I can do better this month so I can actually reach my goal this year.

Good luck to everyone else participating, especially my fellow Novel Knights!

2018 Beat the Backlist

That’s right – I’m doing it again!  Beat the Backlist 2017 helped me start to make a dent in my TBR list, but I still have a lot left to go!  I might not have hit my goal thanks to a whole host of complications BUT that’s no reason not to try, try, try again.

So, I’ve got the same goal as last year: 50 books off my TBR.  Non-TBR books from before 2018 count as bonuses, not towards the 50.

Good luck to everyone else participating!

Update: I’m on the Novel Knights Team!  Go Knights!

Beat the Backlist Update – November

Hello, hello.  Yes, I live despite the busy-ness of November and a rather obnoxious, long-lasting medical complication.  Said medical issue means that continued updates might be few and far between, my apologies.

Now, for the Beat the Backlist Update for October and November! (since I realized I missed October due to NaNo, whoops)
