November TBR Challenge

[Sheri, Bookworm]

My TBR pile has grown exponentially over this past year, and I bet all of yours has too. Since it's getting to be the end of the year, I thought we should do some cleaning up of our TBR piles. Here's the reading challenge for November.






For this month's challenge, read only only books that are already on your TBR pile. Do not add new books for this challenge!

Pick and post your books now. Once you've posted, you cannot change them.

Challenge Levels:
1. Easy – read 3-5 books
2. Medium – read 6-8 books
3. Hard – read 9+ books

You can post your books now but do not start reading until November 1!

Remember, this is just for fun so if you don't make your goal, that's ok!
Happy reading!

I'm the same way. I always have a list of books I want to read for the month but usually end up changing it :)

That's because of all the great suggestions we get from our groups! I don't think there is a month that goes by that I don't end up adding as many or more books to my 'TBR as my 'read' pile.

That's too funny Sheri! I change my mind also, but I just kept adding books. I finished for the month and updated my original post (message 2).

Now for next month...

[pinK]

This was really hard for me! I'm actually surprised I finished because I normally read whatever strikes my fancy. :)
