Hello everyone! How are you all?
I decided to join this challenge again for the new year. I had a lot of fun reading my backlist books and I was really motivated doing so. But still I didn’t manage to read everything on that list. Therefore I’m posting this TBR for the challenge of next year. And I’m really excited because there is also a mini challenge with the Hogwarts houses and *screaming internally* I can finally show my Hufflepuff pride!!!

This challenge was created by novelknight. And this year she is also partnering up with some other bloggers. Please go and check her announcement post out.
As always the main objective of this challenge is that the books read should be published before 2019 and only books started in 2019 count for the challenge.
Without further ado, let’s start with the TBR!

And that’s everything for this TBR. There will probably be more books that I will read for this challenge but these are the ones that I want to focus on at first. How about you? Are you going to participate in the 2019 Beat the Backlist? And where are my fellow Hufflepuffs? Please let me know in the comments below!

I’m looking at participating! I really need to get my physical TBR down from the 150 it’s sitting at 😅😅😅 in saying that…… I don’t even want to know how many Ebooks I have waiting to be read too
I haven’t even counted my physical TBR 😅There are way too many unread books sitting on these shelves. 😅 And same for ebooks. I completely lost control over my TBR!
I went and brought another book today, so in all honesty I never see my TBR getting under control, but positive thinking right? 2019, here I come 😂😂😂
Best of luck for the challenge! I don’t know if I’m going to take it again next year, but it’s a fun challenge for sure 🙂 I hope you’ll like Caraval! 😀
Thank you! 🙂 I already listened to the audiobook of Caraval a year ago and I really liked it 🙂 So I hope that the re-read in physical form won’t change my opinion ^^
Oh, re-reading is always a bit stressful ahah, fingers crossed 😀
Hufflepuff! I’m glad to see books that aren’t popular. I need to start looking at books that aren’t hyped and buying them. There are tons of good ones. Maybe I’ll check these out. 🙂
Yay! Another Hufflepuff! 😀 That’s something that I wanted to do in 2019. To read all the books that don’t get the hype and aren’t that popular in the book community. Because I’m pretty sure that most of these are really good and I want to talk more about these books because they (and their authors) do deserve it as well! 🙂
GO Badgers! 🙂 I agree with you. I can’t wait to see what you think of these books and I can’t wait to check them out. 🙂
YES CARAVAL!! SO GOOD! Also anything by Elise Kova is aMAZing! Happy reading!
Thank you! 😀
