TBR Book Challenge 2017

The list of books I have purchased but not yet read, is slowly getting out of control. It seems like every 6 months or so I take a look at the growing amount of books on my bookshelf, and hastily grab a bunch of them to take to the second hand book store (usually only to make room for MORE MORE MORE). I’ve decided to set myself a little challenge for 2017 to help get my TBR shelf under control.

Here is how the challenge will work –

1. My goal is to read at least 25 books off of my TBR shelf, which includes both physical books and kindle books.
2. Until the challenge is completed I am not allowing myself to purchase any new books.
3. HOWEVER, after every 2 books I finish I am allowed to purchase one “nostalgic” book for my collection (this is housed on an entirely different bookshelf and is a hobby, so I don’t count it in my standard TBR).
4. I am also allowed to borrow books from the library, to mix things up from time to time.
5. All the books I read for this challenge will also count towards my standard 50 Book Challenge for the year.

I’ll be tracking my progress on the blog as the year progresses, so stay tuned. Let me know if you’re going to participate this year, and best of luck if you do!
