botmbacklistchallenge

The First 40 Years of the Book-of-the-Month Club: A List of the Selections for the Years 1926 to 1966... | Book-of-the-Month Club

My two new #botm titles arrived! I went with two blacklisted books—A Woman is No Man and Vivek Oji.

Speaking of backlist, progress of my #botmbacklistchallenge is a bit non existent. I started off the year with 17 unread BOTM titles (+American Dirt, which I borrowed.) I‘ve read 8 BOTM this year. That should leave me with 9 titles, right? WRONG!! I‘ve added quite a few in 2021. Which means I‘m HIGHER than where I‘ve started, as I‘m now at 22!

Megabooks Those two backlists were both 5⭐️ for me! 4y

BookBelle84 I loved them both! 4y

2021: A Book of Grace-Filled Days | Jane Knuth

Planning out my 2021 year in books. Created my GR shelves, planning out January‘s #bookspinbingo and the winter quarter of #booked2021. Ready to roll! 🙌🏻

MicheleinPhilly Are you doing the BOTM challenge again??? You never learn. 😂😂😂 4y

Reviewsbylola No, not *that* challenge. 😂 Just a BOTM backlog challenge. Trying to get that stack in control. @MicheleinPhilly 4y

MicheleinPhilly Ah, I see. I need to do that desperately. 4y

IamIamIam I still don't like Goodreads but I made a shelf for #Booked2021 anyway... I use an old fashioned notebook for my book lists but I thought I'd try something new next year! 4y

Betty: A novel | Tiffany McDaniel

Now is the time of year when I start to spontaneously come up with reading goals and challenge ideas. I‘ve decided I‘m going to do a #botmbacklistchallenge. My goal is to read all the BOTM selections that have been languishing unread on my shelves. Some for multiple years. The list is a total of 17 books, and I have a feeling quite a few of them will be bails. 🤷🏼‍♀️

If anyone else is interested, feel free to join.

Laughterhp I always say I need to do this and then never do it. 4y

Catsandbooks Oh I definitely need to do this! I have an overflowing cart full! 😂 Will you post reminders? 4y

TEArificbooks I am going to do this too. I have more than 30! My goal is four a month. 4y

amywithbooks I really enjoyed The Chestnut Man! 4y

LeahBergen That‘s sounds like a challenge that‘s actually doable. You‘ve got this! 😄 4y

BarbaraBB Your bailing reviews are always fun to read 🤣 but there are some good ones among the ones I‘ve read. I loved Chestnut Man too and Lovers and Writers. 4y

Kalalalatja I‘m always here for a bail review like @BarbaraBB 😂 4y

Megabooks 5 of those I liked! My backlist is down to 11. 🎉🎉 I read 40 BOTM books that I purchased this year (between both accounts) plus trimmed my backlist some. 👍🏻👍🏻 4y

BarbaraBB Okay and I didn‘t like Swing Time and was disappointed by A Neatly Normal Family so I suggest (for @Kalalalatja and my sake) that you start with those 😉 4y

eanderson I need to do this. I have a ton I need to read! 4y

Reviewsbylola Lolol Swing Time hasn‘t been read because I know, deep down, that it‘s got very strong bail potential. 🤪 @barbarabb @Kalalalatja 4y

MicheleinPhilly I need to read 7 of those. 😂 4y
