Beat the Backlist 2020 | Hosted by NovelKnight
A shiny new year gets readers excited about new book releases. The Beat the Backlist challenge gives readers a way to be intentional about getting to those books we couldn’t wait to read last year but never quite got to before the year’s end. It is a great way to show some love to your TBR (to be read) pile.
This will be my third year participating in this challenge. I am trying to keep my list manageable by keeping it under 20 books. We’ll see how I do. I have a mix of picture books, middle grade, and YA. I will include links to author websites below the graphic.
If you are interested in joining the Beat the Backlist reading challenge, please visit NovelKnight’s blog and read Everything you need to know about Beat the Backlist 2020.

Being intentional is a great idea, ’cause looking at my TBR stack stresses me out!

It stresses me out too Deana and it’s weird because reading is something we love to do so why stress ourselves out? One of the things that has helped me is to be okay with not reviewing everything I read. That way I can read the book, enjoy it, and move on.
