Books I’ve reviewed are listed above books I’ve read but not yet reviewed are listed below. I only listened to 14 books, 8 of which were new to me, so I guess I failed this one. My overall goal for 2019 was 20 books, which put me in the “Socially Awkward (Don’t talk to me)” challenge level (15-20 books.) My secondary goal is to listen to 10 “new” books, meaning I’ve never read or listened to them before. (So, for instance, I could listen to a book for The Backlist Reader Challenge and count it for this challenge as well.) You can see the full list of rules by clicking the image. Any book in audio format counted toward the challenge, including rereads, borrowed audiobooks, and crossovers from other challenges. The challenge was to read more audiobooks than you did in 2018. The Audiobook Challenge 2019was hosted by Kimba Caffeinated Reviewer.

This year, I set my goal at 20 backlist titles, and read at least 30.

If you want to participate in The Backlist Challenge 2019, click the image above to go to the rules-and-signup page-and get some of those older books off your TBR list or pile! Rereads only count if it’s been more than 10 years since you last read it, and you don’t remember a lot of the details. The Backlist Reader Challenge (which I host) focuses on reading the older books on your to-read lists (and shelves, and Kindle.) To qualify, a book must have been published in 2017 or earlier, and must be on your “want to read” list.
