The TBR Jar Challenge - 2018

[Kelly]

I'm in for 20. I have placed the titles of all the unread books I own that are not part of a series in my TBR Jar. I read multiple books at the same time, but I never read two books by the same author at a time. If I pull a book by an author that I am currently reading, I will put it back, and choose a new book.

5. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

I'll go for 50. My overall goal is to read 150 books this year so I'll try to read at least 50 from my TBR pile which includes books and ebooks that I already own. Will start with series that I have already started as there are a lot of them that I'm behind on.

My TBR Jar is actually a box! A very old and worn box that was made for me a few years back by a dear friend who is also a fellow writer. Inspiration inside and out!
