It is that time of year again. Kimberly at
Caffeinated Reviewer is doing her Sixth annual
Take Control of Your TBR Pile Challenge. The logo is different from the one we had last year but as pretty as the other one. Rules have a bit changed, from what I can see. I listed them at the end of this post.
But there will be again a grand prize of your choice. And a Twitter Party. So, motivation is given *smile* If you like to know what my goal for this challenge is, or what you´ll have to do to participate, keep reading.
With this challenge, I will focus on the entire month of March on reading/listening to books in my TBR pile released before March 1, 2018. Meaning they can be eBooks, physical books or audiobooks. I will try to clean off those shelves and finish those series and trilogies! Hopefully.
No matter how hard I try, every year turns out to be the same. I get new books en masse and my to-be-read pile is standing in one corner of the room and giving me a look of reproach – if a book pile can do that *smile*
4 books
Sounds not much, but I´d rather keep it low this time. And I am not sure if I will be able to achieve that since March is always a busy month for me. But I am eager to read as much as I can. Good, I will have to read some new releases during March too, where I have a deadline to fulfill. But I don´t think that that will have a huge impact on my time schedule. At least I hope not.
I will have to see if I am able to attend the Twitter Party since I am over in Europe and doing something in the middle of the night isn´t always as fun as it sounds. I hope that won´t disqualify me.

Most of the drill is familiar. Grab the image from Caffeinated Reviewer and share the event. The chance to

Okay, enough of the talking. Let´s have some fun here.
