But first, the "rules:"
Your mission, should you choose to accept it: once a month pull a dormant book out of your TBR pile and read it. On the 3rd Wednesday of the month, talk about that book.
Participation is as easy as being on social media!
- If you're on social media all you need to do is use the #TBRChallenge hashtag - there's no need to sign-up and your participation can vary throughout the year.
- You can use this hashtag on any day, at any time - but we're still going to concentrate on the 3rd Wednesday of every month to kick our commentary into high gear.
- The idea is to have at least one day a month where we can always count on there being book chatter.
Sound good? Of course it does! So what are the themes for 2020? So glad you asked!
January 15 - We Love Short Shorts! (shorter reads)
February 19 - Friends
March 18 - Seasons
April 15 - Freebie
May 20 - Old School
June 17 - Getaway
July 15 - Family Ties
August 19 - Backlist
September 16 - Dress for Success
October 21 - Danger
November 18 - Series
December 16 - Festive
The concept for 2020 is to have more open-ended themes. Literally, make this challenge your own! However you want to interpret these prompts? It's all good. But if this sort of thing isn't your jam, that's OK too. As always, the themes are optional. Don't like 'em, don't have to use them. See how easy this is? I mean really, how could you not want to join in on the fun?

I'm so glad that the TBR will continue. I will lurk until June and then join in for the second half of the year! :)
I see the hand of ShallowReader Bingo in these themes.... :-)
I'm so glad you're keeping on, and I hope it will be less exhausting for you this year. I'll make an effort to contribute more. https://willaful.wordpress.com/
Yay!
I'm glad you decided to keep going!!
I'm very eager to join again. http://books-reading-vice.blogspot.com/
I’m mostly a lurker. Have always enjoyed commentary people do each month. I’m mostly reading other genres, and only occasionally picking up romance these days. I am trying to give myself incentives to pick up books from my TBR. I can’t promise to do all the themes, but I could do the TBR Challenge tag and post on the 3rd Wed of the month about what I’ve pulled from Mt. TBR. I’m lucky to come up with a sentence or two, let alone paragraphs, on what I read, but I like keeping track, and get ideas from other people’s lists and chatter. If any old book will do, you can find me at: https://readernxtdoor.wordpress.com/
Me doing it in 2020 too!
Willaful: I had Vassiliki's blessing before I totally ripped her off LOL
RND: Yes any old book will do! I had someone who participated for a number of years who read everything except romance for the Challenge. It all counts.

Hi -I'm new. Romance makes up half my reading life, general fiction is the other half. This looks like fun! Can I sign up?
Hi Janet! Yes, newbies are welcome! I just need a link on where you're planning on posting your review/commentary. If that's social media, you can simply just use the #TBRChallenge hashtag.
Yay! So happy you're continuing the TBR Challenge! I want to give it another go and I'm determined to not fail in 2020. https://katlass.wordpress.com/

Hi, Wendy, I may have to skip Jan and Feb as I am judging a book contest and have a bunch of books to finish and evaluate by Feb. 23, but will jump in then via Goodreads. So glad you're continuing.
I was selected as a RITA judge this year and am bummed by all the issues that erupted. Hope RWA gets their act together for 2021.
