Overview

This is for those books that have been sitting on my shelves for far longer than acceptable. Even though they are just bits of paper, some books still have the capacity to intimidate me, which is why have made this challenge for those scary books that deserve the be read regardless. It's also for the books I am so excited for that I have avoided them for fear of disappointment... :0

 I did this last year too, and I want to do it again to see if I can increase the amount of books I read from my physical tbr!

Screw capitalism! Consumerism really is my weakness, and that's why I'm making this challenge. I want to make my physical tbr smaller this year, and while that starts with being more critical and more selective of the books I buy, another step is to read more of the books that I already own. And that's exactly what this challenge is: the books I want to read this year, that I already own.
