I’m signing up for the Take Control of Your TBR Pile Challenge!
It’s hosted by Kimberly at The Caffeinated Reviewer, and it runs from March 1 through March 31. Basically, you can read anything in your TBR pile that was published before March 1, 2018. So I can read books for The Backlist Reader Challenge and ARCs I got behind on. If you’re a blogger, you don’t have to post your full review in March; a few sentences on Goodreads are enough.
My goal is to read 6 qualifying books during March. Normally that would be easy, but given that I’ve got some April releases to read, plus a lot of freelance work scheduled, I think I’ll find it enough of a challenge. I’m leaving the actual title choices to my whim of the moment. 🙂
Here are the formal rules. You can sign up and link here (or just click the challenge logo above.) The sign-up link closes on Friday, so don’t delay if you want to join in!
Rules
- Link-up! This is open to everyone. If you do not have a blog then link a shelf entitled Take Control 2018 from your Goodreads account. It is a good idea to friend Kimberly if your shelves are private.
- Create a Goals/Updates/Results post (can be combined) It can also be a shelf created on Goodreads. Be sure to friend me, so I can see it. Friend me: Kimberly

Sound like fun! I’ve got a pretty busy March and so won’t be joining in the fun, but I’ll be cheering you on!

When I saw this challenge I did the happy dance, then I cringed because I know there’s no way on earth I’ll be able to get through my massive pile. It’s literally in the hundreds and I keep adding to it.(lol) I am going to try to get through it in the next few years or so.(lol) Hugs…and Happy Tuesday! RO

Oh, I have no illusions of getting through my TBR pile in a year, let along the month of the challenge! But hopefully I can remember to focus on a few books I wanted or needed to read and didn’t get around to.

Good luck, Lark. Hope it helps to reduce the TBR mountain! ?
