This is a “choose your own adventure” kind of reading challenge. The main goal, I believe, is to knock some books off of your TBR pile.
This will be the last year long challenge I sign-up for in 2016. I just liked that this one didn’t really have any set rules. So, I had more freedom on what to do.
My goals for this challenge are:
- Get my TBR pile down to 100 books (I’m starting out 2016 with about 165 books that I own, but haven’t read yet).
- Do 1 purge of books on my shelves.
- Donate the novels I’ve read, but won’t re-read and/or titles I haven’t read that no longer interest me to the library.
- Read at least 50 books from my TBR pile.
Are you looking to trim down your TBR pile in 2016? Then join us here!

Sounds like a great challenge. I seem to add three to my TBR for every one that I read. So many books, so little time. I am pretty good about not buying books until I’m ready to read them, unless there is a sale, even then it is rare. I try to get as much as I can from the library.

Oh yeah, my wishlist is ever expanding! I’m awful about buying books and then not reading them for months or even years. So I’m hoping to cut down a little on the buying and to read some of those titles that have been collecting dust on my shelf with this challenge.
I love the library! I’m going to try to use it more this year.

This looks like a fun challenge, and nice that it’s not rules heavy. I may have to look into this one…

I love that it’s not too rules heavy! Makes me feel like I’ll be more inclined to follow all the way through with it. Good luck, if you decide to join the challenge!

I don’t think my TBR will ever get smaller!

I have the same problem, Samantha, I always keep adding more books to my shelves as I read, too, and reading my own damned books is not always a priority! Good luck 🙂

Exactly! I’m hoping to try to curb that next year and do better reading the books already on my shelves. Thanks for the luck!

Yes! This is exactly what I need for next year. I hate seeing books that I have yet to read on my shelf. It makes me feel guilty when I want to buy a new release.

Exactly! And one of my resolutions for next year is going to be to buy less books, so this works nicely with that.
