A big goal I’ve set for myself this year is buying fewer books and reading more of what I already own. It’s a bit daunting to look at my shelves and see so many books I still haven’t read (especially if there are multiple editions of those books). So I’m going to make another attempt at the Beat the Backlist Challenge.
If you’re unfamiliar with the challenge hosted by NovelKnight check out this post for more details and to sign up.
Basically you read books published in 2019 or earlier in any format.
Books I hope to read:
The Folk of Air Series by Holly Black
The Cruel Prince (reread)
The Lost Sisters (reread)
The Wicked King
The Queen of Nothing
The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan
Eye of the World*

I’m sure I won’t get through all of these, but at least making a dent in the list will help me knock out a chunk of my owned and unread books.
*If you follow me on Instagram you know I already started Eye of the World last year but didn’t make it very far. It’s been a few months since I’ve picked it up, so I‘m going to be starting it again from the beginning.
