Now, onto what today is really about:
Come one, come all, it’s that time of year! It’s time to Beat the Backlist for the…

My current read and second backlist book of the year! I’d forgotten how much I love Laini Taylor’s writing and being back in the dosab world is amazing
I’ve signed up for the Beat the Backlist challenge 2018 hosted by @novelknight and I’m aiming at the moment to read 6 books which are
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee
La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman
Night of Cake and Puppets by Laini Taylor
Leviathan by Scott Westerfield
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Zafon

If anyone else joins in I’m on the Book Bards team so let me know if we’re teammates! Good luck to anyone doing the challenge and enjoy your new year of reading!
