Overview

Is your TBR reaching record highs? Are those book-box subs starting to stack up to the ceiling? Does your kindle show an ungodly amount of unread books? Do you lie to yourself that you'll "catch up" tomorrow?

Join Discord's TBR in trying to breakthrough that backlog in 2025!

The only solid rule for this challenge, is that the book is published in 2024 or earlier. We will pretend we're not making that monster TBR longer in 2025.
