Beat the Backlist is another good challenge to clear your older books off your list. You can read anything published in 2023 or earlier. You do not need to own it just read it in 2024 and that's it. There are some prompts to help you make it more fun if you'd like. There are 2 choices between 52 and 24 prompts as well.
Templates avail to post on Instagram
