2017 Challenges


The TBR Dare is back with some new hosts and its own website at TBR Dare Website. The new hosts are Lizzy's Literary Life and AnabookbelI love this challenge as usual the challenge is to just read books that you own until April 1st. My goal is to always limit the new releases I read until April 1st. I'm allowed to read library books as long as they were previously on my TBR list. I'm ending 2016 with 368 books on my goodreads TBR list. My goal is as always to reduce the number of books on my TBR.
