Starts: Wednesday, 01 January 2025

Ends: Wednesday, 31 December 2025

 Need an extra challenge and push to read some backlist books off your physical TBR? Challenge yourself to read 15 pre picked books off your TBR or have to unhaul them by the end of 2025. 

These can be any books off of your physical TBR but I'm choosing books that have been on my TBR the longest and/or books that I've been wanting to read but keep putting off for whatever reason.
