TBR Challenge 2024
From the blog of Wendy, the SuperLibrarian:
What is the #TBRChallenge?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it: once a month pull a dormant book out of your TBR pile and read it. On the 3rd Wednesday of the month, talk about that book.
Participation is as easy as being on social media!
If you're on social media all you need to do is use the #TBRChallenge hashtag - there's no need to sign-up and your participation can vary throughout the year.
You can use this hashtag on any day, at any time - but we're still going to concentrate on the 3rd Wednesday of every month to kick our commentary into high gear.
The idea is to have at least one day a month where we can always count on there being book chatter.
Want to let your blogging freak flag fly? If you have a blog and want to post TBR commentary there, drop me a comment on this post with a link to your blog or hit me up on Twitter, Bluesky or Mastodon. I like to post links to the various blogs on my TBR Challenge page so those who follow along can start following you.
