My goal was to read at least 0% backlist and I'm way above that with 144/204 books for the year. I’m also playing Beat the Backlist Bingo and filled 1 square this Month.

I read mostly new releases this month so I only completed 1 square on my Bingo Board this month.
I only have 2 squares left on my board!
