The VIRTUAL Mount TBR Reading Challenge discussion

I know I can read 150 books in a year, but can I read 150 backlist books in a year?

This year I cleaned up my digital TBR. It went from 950 down to 450! Some of them have been on the list for years and they survived the purge so why am I not picking them up?

42% of the books I read this year were added to my TBR before 2018 vs 69% of the books I haven't picked up yet. I will only be counting books added to my list before 2019 and I'll try to read two books that have been on my TBR for over a year for each three books.

I don't know how well I'll follow that last constraint, but it's going to be fun anyway.

Good luck on your challenge Méliane! Happy reading!

Thanks for joining me on this virtual trek, Méliane!

Sounds like a plan! Enjoy your reading, Méliane :)

Enjoy your reads and good climbing!
