#RockMyTBR Book Challenge Introduction

The #RockMyTBR challenge is hosted by the amazing Sarah K at The YA Book Traveler. This is a perfect challenge for the upcoming year as I bought and received quite a few books over the last couple of years that I didn't get to read yet.

If you want more information on this challenge visit the Introductory Post here.

The rules are really simple, read a minimum of 1 book per month you already own (published book). I will list quite a few series and standalones I would like to get through and I will include which books I already own. If it's a new series I haven't yet started yet I will list all the books I own, or if it’s a series I’ve already started reading I will list starting from the book I am currently on. From books listed below I, by no means, intend to read all because that’s more than I can handle in a year, plus there are some upcoming new releases that I want to read. The reason I chose to list so many is because I hope to buddy read some, and I want to have lots of options.

There are lots of people who signed up for this challenge, so buddy reads could be super fun. Make sure to connect with others that plan to read the same books and come up with a plan. It doesn't get any better than fangirling/fanboying with fellow book nerds.

I will do a monthly wrap up to keep myself on track and will be very active on Twitter, using the #RockMyTBR hashtag, to interact with others.
