The Official 2019 TBR Pile Challenge

I'm so glad that Adam from Roof Beam Read is hosting the Official TBR Pile Challenge on a regular basis again. This is one of the first challenges I did when I started blogging and I love the ones that help me knock out some of those books that have been sitting around for a while.

Here's the main point: If you join Adam's challenge, then you will sign up to read 12 books from your TBR list. You're allowed two alternates just in case you can't finish a book for whatever reason. Each of these books must have been on your TBR list for AT LEAST one year and none of the books may have a publication date of 1/1/18 or  later.

For the full run-down of the challenge details, click on the link above, read the rules, and join me in my quest to reduce the teetering stacks.
