For this challenge, peruse your virtual and physical bookshelves for books owned since prior to 2022. Select 24 of them to read this year. List them below and your challenge is to read your self-selected 24 books. This will be a strategic way to focus on books that have been on TBRs for two years or more.

Who's joining for 24 in 24?

Challenge add on...if you finish your first 24 in 24, select a second set of 24 books to clear out in 2024.

Would it work to make this challenge not just for owned books, but books that have been on our TBR shelves prior to 2022? I'm not a book buyer, and I wonder if other members of our group would like to participate in this challenge who are also primarily library users.
If this needs to be a 'books bought' challenge, then that's cool. 🙂

Good point Kate! For readers that don't own books, using TBR shelves works fine.
