Beat the Backlist is a year-long challenge hosted by Novel Knight.
The Rules
The book can be in any format but must have been published before 2019. Re-reads count. You don't even have to own the books (but personally I'll only be counting books from my shelves to help me get through them)! You must also both start and finish the books throughout 2019.

My Goals
I joined in on this challenge last year and read over 40 books from my shelves even though I didn't quite keep up with blogging.
I'm giving myself a goal of another 40 books from my shelves and have made a quick list of 55 books that I would like to get to this year on ListChallenges (if you would like to see the book covers AND mark off the books you've already read from my list!)
You can check out my ListChallenges list HERE.
