It's that time of year again when the 20 Books Of Summer Reading Challenge begins and I am motivated to hit my TBR pile and dig out some of those books which I thought sounded great when I acquired them, but have found their way to the bottom of the pile!
This year the 20 Books Of Summer Reading Challenge is being hosted by AnnaBookBel, running from 1st June to 31st August. The hashtag this year is #20BOS26. If you would like to join in, follow the link to AnnaBookBel to read the "rules" and sign up.
I've had a quick look and find that I begin the challenge with more books that I had at this time last year - 838 ebooks, 5 audiobooks and at least 12 paperbacks waiting to be read. Suddenly this feels like a mammoth task to make any headway with the project of significantly reducing my TBR pile as I'm once again time poor.
To get started, I have chosen to read 20 books, 18 of which are less than 100 pages, to help me achieve this target.

As always, these titles are not set in stone and can be swapped out at any time. I've decided to start with Death at the Village Christmas Fair as that will help towards clearing my Netgalley shelf as well. Wish me luck!
I must say, I love how many Christmas books you have on your list. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of choosing shorter books for the summer challenge. Good luck!
