2018 BEAT THE BACKLIST

Hosted by Novel Knight
This reading challenge is focused on knocking off titles that have been on your TBR for a while, or even ones that get pushed aside for new releases. While we LOVE new releases, we also want to show some of those older titles love too. YOU set your own reading goal. YOU pick the books. YOU read at your own pace.
