The Beat the Backlist Challenge was created by Novel Knight to encourage us to read books that were released in past years. As someone who is always behind on my reading, I still want to read all those incredible books I've missed out on in the past without feeling bad about skipping books that are coming out. I feel like there's kind of a pressure with that as a blogger/person in the bookish community to stay on top of all the new releases and that isn't always possible? I don't know (but side note: a great video kind of about that is by Ariel Bissett!)
I don't really have a set goal in mind in terms of number, but I was thinking maybe proportionally, at least 1/3 of my reading this coming year be backlist?


I'm also joining this series, my goal is 36 books and I'm in story sorcerer! What team are you on? (pls dont say wildcats xD)

I'm joining this challenge as well this year! I combined it with the series a month challenge and my goal is to read one (mostly) backlist series per month! I hope we both meet our goals! Good luck!
