November TBR Cleanup Challenge


My TBR pile has grown exponentially over this past year, and I bet all of yours has too. Since it's getting to be the end of the year, 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 pile. Do not add new books for this challenge!

Remember, this is just for fun so if you don't make your goal, that's ok! Happy reading!

1. Challenges Gone By: Choose a book that you had slated to read for a past challenge but never got to.

2. Start Again, Start Again: Pick a book that you started but never finished.

3. Pick your favorite number. Now read a book from your TBR list that has that number in it. (If yours don't have numbers, you can enable sorting in batch edit - then clock "sort by position to reorder").

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

5. Now select a book that begins with the first letter of your middle name.

6. Now select a book that begins with the first letter of your last name.

7. Sort your tbr books by date added and read the "oldest" book (or a book added on the same day).

8. Sort your TBR books by average rating and read a book rated in the 20 highest.

9. Sort your TBR books by average rating and read a book rated in the 20 lowest.

10. Choose a BOTM book from your TBR list that you haven't gotten to.

11. Using the numbers on your TBR list (see pt.3), read book 23 on the list. (Random number)

12. Choose a TBR book that has been on your list for 6 months.

13. Choose a TBR book that has been on your list for 1 year.
