March 2015 Take Control of Your Reading Pile |
Hi guys, I'm excited to be participating this year in March 2015 Take Control Of Your TBR Pile challenge that Kimba @ the Caffienated Book Reviewer is hosting this year. I thought it would be the perfect way for me to put a dent in my TBR stack that's getting out waaaaay of control. I saw several people that I follow on a regular basis doing it last year and actually getting through a pretty good amount of their TBR pile and I was like, yep...this year, I'm doing it!
What you do is pretty much ditch your ARC's and eGalley's during this month and only read books that were released before March 2015 and have been on your TBR pile for quite a while. They can pretty much be anything that you want to read, digital books, audio books, physical, etc. I'll actually be using the time during the month to focus on finishing up a few of the series that I am behind on and really want to be finished with this year. So, it's definitely going to work out perfectly for me in that respect and it's a challenge that I feel like I'll really be able to keep up with and make some progress in. I'll be using this post as the master post, where I'll be linking up reviews to all of the books that I'll be reading this month for this particular challenge and keeping track of them.
