If you're like me and have a GIGANTIC TBR full of amazing backlisters, this could be the 2022 challenge for you. 

I love reading challenges - they keep me motivated throughout the year and make me excited to keep picking up books. But, some of the challenge prompts are so specific that I find myself buying/borrowing more books to fill the prompts, and my glorious TBR books get put on the back burner (yet again). Or, I get to the end of the year and realise just how many new releases I've read! It leaves me wondering whether I'll ever get around to some of those backlist books I've been meaning to read. 

In 2022 I am challenging myself to read 100 books that I already own. These can be ANY 100 books (published before 1st Jan 2022), but if you sometimes struggle (like me) to pick your next read, some of the spaces will have suggestions to prompt your selections. 

If you are a sensible human WITHOUT a giant TBR, you can still do this challenge. The requirement is to read 100 backlist books published before Jan 1st 2022. My personal challenge is to take these from my existing TBR, but how you source books for this challenge is totally up to you!

2022 is the year of the backlist! Say yes to ignoring those shiny new releases, saving money, and shopping your shelves to spotlight the amazing reads that have been hiding in plain sight!
