This next challenge will be a bit longer, as I made the goal a bit higher. That's so we work through more old TBR books. If you work to clean out your old TBR books and get double or triple page counts, it'll go quickly. :)TBR Clean-Up Challenge
Duration: July 27 - Aug 18th
Goal: 8,500 pages!
Reward: 4 new or 8 used books
Bonus: Double Pages if the book has been in your TBR pile for at least a year. Triple Pages if it's been in your TBR pile for 2 or more years.
Congratulations, Kate!!Off to make a list of books 2+ years on the TBR! Problem is, I'm also trying to get as far as I can in the Seasonal Reading Challenge, so I'm concentrating most of my reading on books on that list, but I know some of them fit your criteria as well. No matter what, I'll definitely be reading!!
Thanks BJ.I've been reading to relieve stress. Immigration is a pain in the ***. Boys at least come home on sunday. That'll make it easier. They've been gone 7 weeks.
I havn't made a list yet of anything over 2 years old. I know I got tons that are over a year old. lol Just depends if I feel like reading them. lol I still have the books you lent me too. Keep forgetting those.
Listed all the books still to be read for the SRC and it came to over 40, so I obviously won't be finishing this one, since there's only one month left! Of those, tho, 6 are 2+ year on TBR, and 3 or 4 have been there over a year, so I have plenty to choose from. I also have 8 library books to read between now and August 10th! Fortunately for this challenge, the book I started this morn fits the 2+ category.
That should really help you BJ!
Congratulations Kate!This will be a slow challenge for me since I haven't been a member long enough to have an old TBR list. No doubles or triples for me.
Congrats Kate! And I'm back from vacation, so I'll be participating in this one. =)Haven't been here long enough for the triple bonus but have TONS that can be counted as double.

You'd think since I came up with this challenge, I'd read a few older books. So why did I pick up a library book to read this morning? lol
