Aussie Readers discussion

I am going to continue to reduce my TBR in 2019 and also books lying around the house. I plan to read everything I added to my TBR in 2014. Each month I plan to read 12 books:
6 books added to TBR in 2014
2 books I own (dead tree)
2 books on TBR other years
2 free choice

I have signed up for the Popsugar challenge and plan to do at least 3 other annual challenges. I am going to be more careful about monthly challenges as I feel when I over commit I don't enjoy reading as much as feeling like I need to finish books to cross them off.

It looks very organised Kerri! I look forward to seeing how you go.

Goodness, you're very prepared Kerri! Good for you and good luck :)

Thanks ladies. I've been thinking about it for a while since I wasn't happy with my 2018 challenge. I decided I needed to have a more structured approach for 2019.

Well if this doesn't work, nothing will! lol

Look at you go, Kerri!! I have had a structured plan for the last few years, but each time I still go rogue and read off the plan!! Good luck with enjoying your reading, whatever happens!

I have no doubt I 'll end up going rogue too, but at least I'm starting with good intentions.

Good luck and happy reading in 2019!

Some excellent books there Kerri. Good luck!

Wow, terrific preparation Kerri! I like it! All the best, and happy reading! xo :)

Super excited that you've got The Three Musketeers on your challenge list as it's my favourite book of all time! I'll be keeping an eye out for your thoughts!

Good luck! :)

Good luck! :)"

The copy I have is an abridged version, but if I like it and after having read your review, I might pick up a full version later on :)

Looks like you're doing well with your challenges, Kerri!

Thanks Kathryn, so far so good! I've been on a bit of a mission and only have 5 books left from 2014 though 2 I can't locate. I'm still overcommitting to challenges though.

Kerri, not sure if you're aware but we've opened the personal challenge folder for 2020 (this is 2019 and your challenge is 2020) Also, in case you've put it in the wrong place, it goes in the Crime group :)

Thanks Brenda. I'm just using this space as a note pad at the moment. I'm not sure I want to enter this challenge yet, there are some spaces I don't think I'll be able to fill and don't want to overcommit again.

No problems Kerri :) You can change your header and mark it - Kerri's note pad for 2020 or something similar, and if you can't transfer it to the 2020 folder, I can do it for you :)
