2019 has arrived and I am determined to read some of my TBR books. Since I started blogging, ARCs and books for blog tours have kind of taken over. Don’t get me wrong, its AMAZING. However, there are a TON of books I own but haven’t read because they just get pushed back.
So, my awesome blogger friend, Kimberly Faye Reads, created a challenge. You can check out the full details on her post, but here is my plan for this challenge:
- I am going for the Blitz level (13-24 books). That is 2 books a month from my TBR. However, I am not holding myself to getting 2 a month. If I get none one month and 4 another, great. As long as by the end of the year I’m between 13-24 books, I will consider it a success.
- I am going to continue with my ARCs and such; they just won’t count for this challenge.
- Books that will count for this challenge are any books I own prior to 2019, or any book I buy upon release that has been on my TBR on Goodreads.
I am keeping it SIMPLE. If I have learned anything about my reading habits, if I make a list or in any way box myself in, I will fail. I will fail epically! So, I am hoping by keeping this pretty undefined I will be more successful. I am also starting a shelf on goodreads to track, so you can check that out too!
What are your reading goals for 2019? What do you hope 2019 brings you in books?

I’m doing something similar with about 2 a month of hopefully one I have already purchased or planned to read for awhile. Good luck! Anne – Books of My Heart
TBR challenges are always great. I know I neglect the books I own all the time. Good luck!
You have a great goal for 2019!
Mine isn’t solidified, but I want to de-clutter my bookshelves. I did a cull recently, where I took all the books I own that I haven’t read yet, and if i felt like I wasn’t going to read the book in the next 5 years, I put it in the “donate” box. And honestly, if 5 years go by, and I decide that I do want to read it? I can easily get it from the library, or get a cheap paperback, or something.
Anyway, it felt really good to let go of a lot of those books. I hope to continue doing that this year. I still have 6 bookshelves jam packed with books, and stacks of books next to and in front of them. Would like to keep the stacks to a minimum!
