Rock my TBR 2016

The Challenge: 

To read a minimum of 1 book per month you already own (published book). This challenge is totally what YOU make of it! You can do 5 books a month, 10, WHATEVER! Anything you accomplish is fantastic. This challenge is really what you make of it.

Partway through 2015, I shifted my focus to Tackling my TBR and had mixed results for success. This year, I wanted to get a handle on my TBR sooner, rather than later. And so, I thought this challenge hosted by Sarah K @ The YA Book Traveler is the perfect one for me this year. It’s specific yet flexible and I love that I can customize it to suit my reading needs.

My Goal: To read at least 4 TBR* items per month

*My plan is to pull 4 TBR “paper stars” from my jar per month. Now, in my TBR jars, 1 star can equal one standalone novel OR one series that I have multiple books for. If one of my pulls has multiple books, I will read all of them and each one will count towards my TBR items for that month. Any titles pulled and not read (excludes DNFs) within that month will carry over to the next month until they have been read.

Priority Books:

The Girl with the Iron Touch (Steampunk Chronicles, #3)   The Deal (Off-Campus, #1) Avoiding Commitment (Avoiding, #1) Existence (Existence Trilogy, #1)

These are books that I have had on my TBR FOREVER and can’t wait to start!*

*Well, obviously I can wait to read them since I’ve had them sitting for months–and in some cases–years!
