Carpe Librum TBR Challenge of 2015

So, not only do I read and write what I think about books I also follow or at least visit other book blogs. I came across this one CARPE LIBRUM GIRLS TBR CHALLENGE

Last year (2014) I focused on ARC (advanced reader copies) and my TBR pile (To Be Read) grew to over 300 books. Though I will be doing ARC reviews through out this year (2015) I am going to join this challenge and attempt to dwindle down my TBR pile. 

THE RULES:

1. The challenge will run from January 1, 2015 - December 31, 2015. The sign up link below will remain open until January 10, 2015 at 11:30am PST.
2. Anyone can enter! You don't have to be a blogger, just as long as you review the book you've read. You can review on your book on your blog, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, Instagram etc.
3. Any genre, length, or format of book counts as long as it is a book that's been sitting on your self for some time. Short stories and novellas do count! The only stipulations that the book must have been released in 2014 or earlier. No 2015 ARCs or 2015 fresh-off-the-press releases allowed.
4. On the 30th of every other month, she will post a wrap-up for the previous two months and will contain new linkys for you to add your own wrap-up posts.
5. THERE WILL BE 2 GIVEAWAYS! - IN July and December. Giveaway details will be explained once the giveaway post goes up. She doesn't want to overwhelm you with too many details now  :)
6. You don't have to follow her to join the challenge, but you do have to follow her to be entered in the giveaways on Instagram/Twitter at @carpelibrumgirl and on her Blog through Google Friend Connect ( on the side bar) or Bloglovin Link ( also on the side bar)  either one or will do!.

My TBR Goal : 31-40 - I Got This!

I would normally aim for higher ( I read almost 60 books in 2014 including children's books I reviewed) but I am still going to be doing my ARC's, just not as many, and working for BTSeMag.com reviewing books.
