This will be my second year competing in Novel Knight‘s Beat the Backlist Challenge. This year I hope to be a bit more organized and not constantly adding books to my list, rather than reading the ones I have. The only category I’m hoping to add to is the audiobook category once I’ve finished those on the list.
If I complete this list I will have read all of my physical books and the majority of my Kindle books. I can’t imagine the weight this accomplishment would be off my shoulders!
Throughout the year I will be linking my reviews to each of the books on this list.
