January 2024 TBR
Hello friends!! Welcome to the first TBR that I have done in over a year, the January 2024 TBR.
Yes, it’s finally happened. I have cracked under the weight of my extensive TBR (now sitting at a whopping 545 physical books) and will be putting actual TBRs into place each month. Until I either forget about them, or run off and mood read for three months and then throw my hands up.
So, with all of that inspiration to look forward to, let’s build a TBR for January 2024.
January 2024 TBR
OK, so, to address an elephant that’s likely only in my mind in this part of the room, here’s where I’m at.
It is 1 January (Happy New Year!!), and I still don’t really know what challenges I’m signing up for this year. Apart from my normal Goodreads goal (100 books), Kal @ Reader Voracious’ Backlist Challenge and/or Austine Decker’s Beat the Backlist 2024 (thank you Kal and Austine for posting these in the last 24 hours and reminding me).
Theortically I try to read about 10 books per month to ensure we hit the target. And ideally I’d like most of those to be backlist books. Unsurprisingly, this is quite easy in January, and then gets harder as the year goes on.
So, I’m going to start with some books I’ve already started (it’s not cheating!), and some books I’ve been really wanting to read. Plus one new release that I may as well try and hit because I know I will read it ASAP. I can also try to tick off some BTB bingo prompts. And, because I’m actually cray, we’re starting with the 52-prompt list.
Covers should be Goodreads links. Hopefully.
What is on your January 2024 TBR?

By having dreams and taste.

Says the first person who really understood all my ATLA T5T prompts last year 💕

Good luck with reducing your TBR. I can’t imagine having that many actual unread books. You have some great choices on this month’s list so I hope you love them all.

Thank you!! I have a lot of great books… I’ve just been reading things on kindle unlimited because it was easier accessing my phone when I was feeling lazy… 👀

You know, we often spend far too much time deciding which of our hundreds of books we should read next. That’s why I do the titles in a jar method. Put the titles on little pieces of paper, fold them up, place them in a jar, shake it up and then pull one out at random.

I really like that idea. I even bought a TBR jar. I’m just really terrible at the follow through on this!! I also tried using a RNG with my TBR spreadsheet. But I’m really glad this works for you!!
