Beat the Backlist 2020

So for the first time, I am going to participate in Beat the Backlist 2020 where I’ll be reading the books that have been on my TBR list for some time.  Even though re-reads count for this challenge and borrowed books from the library/others, I to mainly use this challenge to make a dent in the books that I own and haven’t read yet.

As for any library/borrowed books, I will be logging the ones that I have been planning to read for a while.  This will not include books that I have just found interest in (as of 2020).  So if I see a book that was published in 2008, but I didn’t know about it until this year, I’m not going to count it.

This is my first time doing a challenge like this, other than the Goodreads Reading Challenge, so I am looking forward to this and hopefully meeting other book bloggers/lovers throughout the year.
