Show Book List

 

I’m pretty sure my TBR pile went in to full overdrive! There’s been so many great recently released books lately, and of course I just “HAD” to get my hands on them all as soon as possible. Mix that with the auto shipments of various bookmail subscriptions arriving each month and you’ve now found me buried under that endless flow of books.

Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE having so many books. There’s nothing better than walking inside my house and finding my trusty friends waiting for me on their floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.

And yet the idea of prioritizing my TBR list remains one of the most stressful things for me. I’m a mood reader so I randomize what I read. Unfortunately, my Book of the Month books just haven’t made the cut and my backlog is becoming quite large.

I was browsing Instagram when I came across the BOTM Summer Slam challenge hosted by @theliteraymom. It seriously couldn’t have come at a better time! Sure, sure….. I have other Reading Challenges that I’m still working on (I’m looking at you Great American Read Challenge and your 100 book list!) but truthfully, I could use some help in the accountability department right now.

I hunted down all my unread BOTM books and found 8 of them on backlog.

 

My BOTM backlog books I intend to read for the "BOTM Summer Slam Challenge during the month of June 2019.

The books I intend to read for this challenge are:

This challenge might be a little tricky for me to complete though. I usually read 3-4 books a week but during the summer I tend to slow down and spend most of my free time doing summer-y things instead. I’m determined to succeed with this one though and will update my progress via Instagram using the hashtag #BOTMsummerslam. Of course I’ll post my reviews here too!
