Beat the Backlist 2024: 01/01/24
Hosted by Austine of Novel Knight.
Last year I set a goal of 250 books and by the end of November I had met that goal. I'm going to stick with that goal for 2024 and as always, strive for half of my read books being backlist titles. I'm not, however, posting a list of things I plan to read as that just ends up being confusing and messy for me.
