Beat the Backlist challenge is all about knocking off some those books that have been on your TBR for quite a while. If you are like me I have read quite a few new releases this year and not enough of the books that are actually are on my TBR already.

I want to manage to get that lovely 80% badge off of Netgalley so I am going to use some books from there and some from my physical books on my shelf. I have picked 50 books.

Good luck! You are ahead of the game! Already planning for next year! How many percent do you have now? I can’t get the percent up because each time I submit one review there’s a new book to download 😂

Good luck with your TBR! You sure have some great titles on it. And I know your pain when it comes to Netgalley; I’m SO close and yet so far with my badge… Every time I manage to get it above 70% I start requesting new books again haha.
