Beat the Backlist 2023: 01/01/22

Hosted by Austine of Novel Knight.

Although I did surpass my usual goal of 300, I am going to do another year of a smaller goal, 200. As with previous years, my goal for this challenge is to have half my reading be from backlist books. Ideally, I'd like to complete my 2021 books and make a serious dent in my 2022 purchases.

Below is my list of unread books from 2021, 2020 and 2019. I will cross them out as I read them. I will also add other books to the list as I read them, and will bold them.
