Reading Challenge: Backlist Reader 2021

 I did this challenge last year, and it was the one challenge I actually completed early, so I am feeling encouraged to try it again. In addition, I can do it along with the Virtual Mount TBR challenge (link to my sign up post) as the purpose of both reading challenges is similar: to read stuff on the TBR list. For this challenge, you can or not own the book.

If you are interested in this reading challenge and/or wish to sign up for it, you can do so here. 

Some rule details: 

• Books for this challenge have to be published before 2020 and be on your TBR list already. 
• Social online hashtag for this is #BacklistReader. 
  

I am planning to tying this closely to Virtual Mount TBR challenge, so for this challenge I will strive to either get books from my GoodReads TBR shelf and/or books listed in my "Items about books I want to read" series over at Alchemical Thoughts.

I will add books to the list as I get to them. I will provide links to the reviews in the book titles after I post them here on the blog. Goal is flexible, so I am committing to 12 books, same as for Virtual Mount TBR. Naturally, if I read more, I will upgrade the goal.

1. Peter Washington, Madame Blavatsky's Baboon.
