It's that time of year again! Once again, I've added more books to my TBR list than I'll ever have time to actually read. As the end of the year looms closer, I thought we should do some cleaning up of our TBR piles.

For this month's challenge, read only only books that are already on your TBR list. Do not add new books for this challenge!


Photobucket




Remember, this is just for fun, so set your goal high and reach for the stars! Happy reading!

1. Read a book that you had planned to read for a past challenge but never got to.

2. Read a book that you started but never finished.

3. Pick your favorite number. Read the book that is listed as that number from your TBR list (go to 'batch edit' and 'enable sorting').

4. Sort your TBR list alphabetically. Read a book that begins with the first letter of your first name.

5. Read the next book in a series.

6. Read a previous group BOTM book.

7. Read book #17 on your TBR list (go to 'batch edit' and 'enable sorting').

8. Sort your TBR list by date added and read the most recently added book on your list.

9. Sort your TBR list by date added and read the book that has been on your list the longest.

10. Read the first book in a new series.


Challenge Levels:
1. Easy – read 1-3 books
2. Medium – read 4-7 books
3. Hard – read 8+ books

Elle (elleay) | 164 comments I'm in for Easy. This is a great idea! I need some TBR list accountability.

3/3 Read

4. Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back by Shel Silverstein 3 Stars - can't go wrong with Shel Silverstein.

5. Fairest (The Lunar Chronicles, #3.5) by Marissa Meyer 3 stars - interesting backstory of the series' "villian'.

10. The Wilds (The Wilds, #1) by Donna Augustine 2 stars - indie author, needs some editing and continuity checks. Also read The Final Empire (Mistborn, #1) by Brandon Sanderson , the first in the Mistborn series - 4 stars. First time reading Brandon Sanderson and was definitely not disappointed.

6. Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1) by Kendare Blake Finished Anna & another 5 full stars! ✔

10. Illuminae (The Illuminae Files, #1) by Amie Kaufman Finished & 5 full stars! ✔

What is weird is I went to look under my favorite number and it wasn't there. I had deleted some books from my tbr list and now they are not listed in order. I'm missing like number 13 and I have two of number 20, I don't get it. And I didn't check all of them as I have 3000 plus on there, more deleting to do after reading some of these :)
