2016 Challenge: The TBR Triple Dog Dare

tbr-final-dare_AlwaysReidingJames Reads Books is hosting a cool little challenge for 2016–this time it works similar to a freeze, wherein you can only read what was in your TBR pile (or on order) before December 31, 2015.

I am doing this, but with an exception for review copies, as I normally do not have control over those. And, specifically for books that I have to read for book club.  Otherwise, the books will need to be read on April 1, 2016.

It runs fromJanuary 1, 2016 to April 1, 2016. And, it doesn’t consider it a challenge, more like a dare. I, personally, think it is a challenge not to buy books and then read them right away. So, I think I am trying this for January, for sure… And maybe will extend, depending on how I do.

Have you participated in a challenge like this before? Any tips or tricks?
