Reading down the backlist in 2020

As I stated when I signed up for the Mount TBR Reading Challenge, I was taking a break from reading challenges since 2017. Now that I am back, I figured the Backlist Reader Challenge could work for me since a lot of what I read is backlist, and some of the books here will work for the Mount TBR challenge as well. So here we go.

The detail highlights for the Backlist Reader Challenge 2020:

• You can sign up here. It also has the full rules. 
• Challenge runs from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
• This is for books that have been on the TBR list for a good while. It can be books you own or books that you have wanted to read. 
• Books have to be published before 2019, and they do have to be on your TBR already. For me, I can go back and check my GoodReads TBR shelf or the series of TBR posts over at Alchemical Thoughts for ideas. In addition, books I may be reading for Mount TBR will likely count; if they have been sitting on my shelf, they are on the TBR if I have not read them.
• Any format works: print, e-book, audiobook. 
• You can pick your level. I am going to keep it modest and just match my commitment to the Mount TBR challenge, so let's start with 12 books. I will keep adding more if I get past 12. 
• I will tally the books on the list as I read them. I will link the titles to reviews as I post the reviews online. 
• Social media hashtag for this challenge: #BacklistReader.
