I was so excited to find this group, as I've been doing a TBR challenge over on 75 books in 2020. This is the year I read ALL of my TBR books and I'm not allowed to buy any more until I do :)

Welcome to the group and all my best wished for the "no buying books" resolution. I have never been able to do that.

Welcome to the group from me too! I'm with >5 MissWatson: on the no buying thing - I'm trying to buy one book for every 2 read, and that's hard enough! (also, if I were to not buy any new books till all my TBRs were read, I'd not buy a new book till probably somewhere in the 2030s, and my eyes are popping just thinking about that!)

Welcome aboard and best of luck with your goal this year!

>6 Jackie_K: I'd be in a similar situation, probably!
