Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

This is where I will keep track of my challenges. I will post challenges I did last year too, mostly so I can compare to this year and future years.

Cleaning out TBR Closet 2018

I really like the idea of this challenge and after having looked at my TBR and the amount of books I added when I first joined, I feel like I really need to do this. I'm only going to go with books I have access to and initially challenge myself to 10. These will be books I added in 2012.
*Edit*
I'm changing my goal to 20 as not even halfway through March, I had completed 5 books and I know that a couple of books on my list will not take very long to read at all.

I'm so happy to be doing this challenge again this year as it helps motivate me to read books on my TBR list.

This year I have decided to focus mostly on books that are part of a series. Some will be part of series that I have started, but not yet finished. As some of the books are fairly short and I beat my target of 20 books last year, I am going to aim for at least 25 books. Most of the books have been on my TBR list since 2012 or 2013 so it will help clean up some of my earlier added books.

I reached 200 read on the 17th December. I don't see any point going to level 3 with so few days left in the year.

Cleaning out the TBR closet 2020 challenge
Duration: 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2020

So when I made my list for 2019 at the end of 2018, I had so many plans to read so much. Unfortunately I hit a reading slump at the beginning of 2019 which meant I didn't end up reading as much as I had originally hoped. While I still exceeded my goal of 25 and read a total of 37, I still have many left on my list from last year.
I am starting this year with 906 books on my TBR list and hope to get that down to under 700.
I will start off with a goal of 30, however I do have plans to read some shorter books on my shelf so I may easily exceed that, but I will reassess that if I need to.
*Goal changed to 40 on 11 February*
*Goal changed to 60 on 20 March*
*Goal changed to 80 on 3 August*

I would like to give this one a go. I will try and go for 30. Many of the books on my list are part of a series so I have to adapt it slightly to make the goal possible.

It is unlikely that I will choose to remove more than a few of these books, but in the case that I do, I will randomly generate a new number to add a different book.

Cleaning out the TBR closet 2021 challenge
Duration: 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2021

Last year I started with 906 books on my TBR list. I had wanted to get that down to around 700.
This year I start with 812 (I was under 800 but I added quite a few books at the end of last year) and I will try to get it as close to 600 as I can.
I started 2020 with a goal of 30, but very quickly it looked like I was going to exceed that. I upped my goal a few times over the course of the year and ended up with a goal of 80. By the end of 2020, I had read 87 books off my list.
This year I will begin with a goal of 50.
*Goal changed to 70 on 14th September.
