I don’t feel like my 2017 Beat the Backlist challenge was very fruitful.  Not only did I fall off my list, I also stopped filling out the form to log my page count.  In 2018 I’m going to do much better.  That’s my goal anyway.  This is supposed to the asskicking I need to get my butt in gear!

If any of you are interested in Beating on your Backlist he rules are simple:

Challenge runs from January 1-December 31 2018
Your book cannot be pubbed in 2018

Now, you head on over to NovelKnight and sign up.  That way we can compare notes!

About Birdie

Don’t look for her in any bar, club, crazy raging party, or anywhere there may be a large gathering of strangers. She’s more likely to be found tucked into the corner of the couch watching one of her favorite shows, or preferably under a comforter with her current novel.

      I’m pretty good with Netgalley. I forced myself to only request what I 100% plan to read. No off the cuff requests. I have the shopaholic issue. I buy books and then they sit on my shelf.
