Cleaning out TBR Closet 2018

I really like the idea of this challenge and after having looked at my TBR and the amount of books I added when I first joined, I feel like I really need to do this. I'm only going to go with books I have access to and initially challenge myself to 10. These will be books I added in 2012.
*Edit*
I'm changing my goal to 20 as not even halfway through March, I had completed 5 books and I know that a couple of books on my list will not take very long to read at all.

This is where I will keep track of my challenges. I will post challenges I did last year too, mostly so I can compare to this year and future years.

Anyone around?

I'll try and finish something before the 10th or if not then I may be a few days behind starting.

Oh, I would love to join in with this, but I'm not sure I'm going to have the time. I'm already trying to read so much and yet I feel like I'm in a reading slump. I guess I'll see what happens on or around the 10th.

- 620 pages

Current Total: 11,236

I've been taking the a chapter a day approach (as someone said there was 365 chapters so a chapter a day would still mean that I finish it by the end of the year) for the moment as I've got a couple of other books I am trying to finish as soon as possible.
The chapters have been quite short so far and not much has happened in the few 3 chapters (I haven't read todays chapter yet).

I will probably start reading more than a chapter a day when I get a bit more time, but I've made a start.

Congrats Karen!

It looks like I'm done for this year. I wanted to finish one more, but it won't happen tonight. On the upside, it will be an early start to next years challenge :P

Northern Lights 397 pages

Current Total: 1,602,515

Me too :D


I have one more I will try and finish by the end of the year, but I'm starting to get doubtful that it will happen.

I would like to join this challenge. I was going to do the yearly one, but I knew I wouldn't finish it in a year, especially as in 2019 I am planning to read mostly series, and then I saw the open-ended one which would be better for me.

Start date: 27th December 2018
Finish date: 27th November 2020 ??

I’m working hard to finish books so that I’ll be ready for this.

1. I have a degree in History
2. I'm in a long distance relationship. My boyfriend lives in Norway while I live in the UK.
3. I love cats. I like all animals, but cats are my weakness. If I'm sad, just show me some cute cat videos or pictures and I'll feel better.
4. I really want to learn more languages. I'm currently learning Norwegian (see above for the reason :P ) and before that I was learning French, but I am nowhere near fluent in either language. I would also like to learn German.
5. I love to swim, however I don't swim much anymore because it irritates my skin, but I want to try and swim more in the new year.
