The TBR Double Dare


The TBR Double Dare

C.B. James threw out the dare and I'm going to take it on! If you remember from my reading goals and challenges post, I mentioned that a top goal for me is to read from my mountainous to-be-read collection. This dare nicely aligns with that goal.

The dare is simply to "make a resolution to read only the books in your To Be Read stack from January 1, 2012 to April 1."

This is not a book buying ban but is, instead, a dare to only read books from my TBR collection during the stated time period. As of 12:00 am January 1, no newly purchased books and no borrowed books can be read until April 1. Of course, it would be helpful if I didn't buy any books during that time as well, but that is a separate issue!

At least this wasn't a double dog dare or, gasp, the dreaded triple dog dare! Wish me luck.

  3. Kailana: I'll probably pop into my library on April 1st! Love libraries but want to address the ginormous TBR at home. Glad you are a fellow library fan :)

    JoAnn: Thanks! I'm looking forward to what I find there too. It is surprising what I find there sometimes.
