The Backlist Reader Challenge 2024

Adding a couple other challenges to my list to get through my To Be Read piles in the house. Between trips to the Book Barn and random Friends of the Library sales, I have a bit of a pile issue. 🙂 The Backlist Reader Challenge is for books that were published at LEAST a year ago – so in 2022 or earlier. Fresh reads only, no re-reads (although the rules do allow for them if it’s been over 10 years and can’t remember it).

I will have my list up before December 31st in this post!

  1. Falling Sideways by Tom Holt (2002)
  2. Possessing the Secret of Joy by Alice Walker (1992)
  3. The Inferno by Dante Alighieri, translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (2003 edition)
  4. Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray (2009 Vintage edition)
  5. Shanghai Girls by Lisa See (2009)
  6. Blood Hollow by William Kent Krueger (2004)
  7. The Bonesetter’s Daughter by Amy Tan (2001)
  8. Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner (2001)
  9. A Witch in Time by Madelyn Alt (2010)
  10. Cemetery Dance by Preston & Child (2009)
  11. Trickster’s Choice by Tamora Pierce (2003)
  12. Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton (2003 edition)

  1. The only one of these I’ve read (or even heard of) is The Inferno, but some of them sound quite interesting!
