The Beat the Backlist challenge is to help decrease those TBR stacks of already-released titles that tend to get pushed aside in favor of newer books. For the full challenge information, click the link below:
BEAT THE BACKLIST READING CHALLENGE INFORMATION/SIGN-UP
For 2017, I want to read 100 books off my backlist TBR! While I’m not 100% sure which books I’ll end up reading, I’ve listed some that I want to try and get to.
I’m also setting a personal goal to read one book off my shelves and one off my eReader each week since I’ve had so many build up on my Kindle. >.<

The Darkest Minds is one of my absolute favorite YA Fantasy books/series! I hope you like it! This is a really great list! It may take me some time to think out my TBR for this… which I probably won’t stick with 100% anyway. I’m a mood reader, so TBR’s don’t usually work out too well for me. But gonna try anyway!

I’ve heard so many good things so I knew it had to be on here!
I’m definitely not going to be sticking to this list XD Going for 100 books but I already know this list will change around. It’s just a starting point!
I know I’ve got at least 15 books on here sitting on one of my shelves! I’ll definitely be joining in, and adding my link nearer to December!

Great! Can’t wait to see what you pick!
I will be posting a post on this because I love the idea and it will help encourage me to read the books that I have waiting!
Awesome! Glad to encourage more reading! 😉
This is such a good idea. Will be joining. There are some amazing books on your list. I loved the whole Smoke & Bone series but would probably reread the first before starting. Anna &FK, E&P, PS… all stunning.
Thanks! And I’ll definitely be re-reading DOSAB first since it’s been a little while but can’t wait to dive in!
I have so many books that I haven’t read yet I feel guilty. It’s a bit daunting and I am currently at a stand-still. I don’t know what to read next. You’ve got 100 books on your list @.@ how do you not feel intimidated by such a number?
Well I read around 130 books from May to December this past year so 100 isn’t all that unreasonable for a whole year for me, factoring in new releases. 🙂 Fast reader 😉
I think this will be a great challenge for me. (I do believe my Kindle whimpers every morning when I fire it up…there’s so many books on there!) Also, I’m hoping to do better this year at keeping records of what I’ve read, so….
