My BeatTheBacklist Reading Challenge Progress

Just in case you’re looking to catch up on some of those TBR reads.

I’ve said before that I don’t typically join challenges.. but I do make exceptions.
This will be one of them.

When I first came across the BeattheBacklist challenge @ Carla‘s blog, I loved the idea.. And since I already had plans to buckle down, put on my big girl glasses, and focus on clearing out some those “I keep saying I will” TBR must reads.. The timing really was impeccable.

The Rules:

  1. The book must be published in the previous year or earlier (for the 2022 challenge, anything published in 2021 or earlier counts).
  2. You have to start and finish the book in 2022.
  3. And that’s it!

I haven’t been able to add nearly as many to this list as I’d have liked.. but I’ve also been reading more 2022 releases than I expected and they’ve been keeping me pretty busy. I’m just grateful for the incredible luck with these and all of my reads this year.

Have has you’re reading experience been going so far?

Thank you for checking out this post, I will continue to add any backlist/TBR reads to it as I go so.. we’ll see how it goes.
Wish me luck!
