I had such a great time doing Beat the Backlist, hosted by NovelKnight, in 2018 that I've decided to sign up again! You can get all the details here, but basically this challenge helps us get to all those older titles on our TBRs (anything published before 2019 counts!). This year you have the option of just being a general reader or you can join in the Hogwarts House Mini Challenge and earn points for your house. There are also some other fun activities you can take part in, like a photo challenge. I'm going to be playing for House Hufflepuff!
In 2018, I read way more books than I originally planned for this challenge, which is great! For 2019, though, I'm setting a slightly lower goal, partly because some of the books I chose are really long! I figure this is just a starting point, anyway. Here are the books I'm really hoping to get to:
Are you joining Beat the Backlist? What older titles do you want to read this year?
Awesome list!! Enjoy the challenge!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erica!
DeleteGood luck with the challenge this year! The Song of Achilles is one I'm planning to read for BTB as well.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, good luck to you, too!

ReplyDeleteI think you should start with The Song of Achilles! The audio was fantastic! Also, Warcross has been on my list for ages. I've actually borrowed the audiobook a few times from my library, but never manage to get to it on time. One of these days... :)

Haha, I know!
DeleteRebel of the Sands and Warcross are both fantastic!! Hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for signing up for BTB and happy reading!
Thank you, Austine!
DeleteI've thought of joining, but I have bad luck with most reading challenges. 😂
ReplyDeleteGood luck with completing the challenge!
Thank you, Sophia!
DeleteSounds like a great challenge! You have a lot of great books up there. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Grace!
DeleteThis is a great challenge, it fits right in with some of what I'm thinking about for 2019 -- read more of the books on my shelves instead of the library or buying new! I'm going to go take a peek. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim! Oh, I know, and this TBR doesn't even include the multitude of unread books I have on my shelves, but I'm hoping it will inspire me to read them!
DeleteI think I might join this challenge. I have a lot on my backlist I would like to read!

Awesome, Mary! It should be a fun time!
DeleteOoh good luck! Warcross is fun and Achilles I've heard many good things about!
ReplyDeleteI finished both the Warcross and The Hundredth Floor series this year, and I really, really liked those series. The Knockoff caught my eye a while back. I hope you get to it, so then you can tell me how it is. Good luck with your challenge.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sam! Definitely want to get to The Dazzling Heights soon.
DeleteI hope you enjoy all of these! I loved The Song of Achilles and Salt To the Sea! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracy!
DeleteI think I'll be joining this challenge again too :) I have a lot of books on my shelves I'd like to get to!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, good luck!
