It’s almost June and, as promised, we are back, baby! Not only do we have the summer months jammed packed with great posts about reading culture, but we’re excited to announce that we’re making the month of June all about reading those forgotten pre-2018 titles with our #BacklistBinge challenge!
For the month of June, we making it a challenge to set down our trendy reads for the month and go back to our roots of discovering timeless classics, connecting with readers, booksellers, and librarians about books they loved (and we might love too), and reconnect with the joy that comes from perusing books in the stacks in hopes of finding serendipity. That means from June 1st to June 30th, we’re going to try to read as many pre-2018 titles as possible. Plan your month to exclusively read backlist titles or vow to incorporate more into your monthly #TBR. You’re #BacklistBinge plan is up to you. Just make sure to share your backlist reads by tagging @littressblog or #BacklistBinge on Instagram so we’re sure to see those posts (and share them with our readers, too)!
To help kick things off right, we’ve put together our #BacklistBinge challenge to help inspire you. Think of these as prompts to get you thinking outside the frontlist catalogs. There’s no pressure to finish them all. Just have fun with getting lots of backlist reading accomplished!
