There are some books, though, I have to read to college until March, so I'll make a list of them only and try not to skip any.1. O Guarani, José de Alencar
2. Dom Casmurro, Machado de Assis
3. Macunaíma, Mário de Andrade
4. São Bernardo, Graciliano Ramos
5. Grande Sertão: Veredas, Guimarães Rosa
6. A Hora da Estrela, Clarice Lispector
7. Lavoura Arcaica, Raduan Nassar
8. Húmus, Raul Brandão
9. O Barão, Branquinho da Fonseca
10. Dispersão, Mário de Sá Carneiro
11. Odes Completas, Antero de Quental
Extras (I just want to read them during next year, but I may or may not)
12. Carry On, Rainbow Rowell
13. Fangirl, Rainbow Rowell
14. Game of Thrones, George R. R. Martin
15. Outlander, Diana Gabaldon
Forget all about Fangirl. I just read it cuz of a sleepless night on the road. If everything goes well, maybe, just maybe, I'll read Carry On before the end of the year too.
I always say I won't make a list, but... *sighs* I got curious.Anyways, I only put books that are standalone and the next/first in line, if it belongs in a series, even though I usually have all of it.
(As it's a loooooooot of books, I won't waste time writing the authors' full name. NR stands for Nora Roberts)
Any number written between [ ] is the number of books I have that comes after the ones here.
(view spoiler)
273 books *sighs* Okay, let's try.
Maybe I started too soon? But I've already read Dispersão by Mário de Sá Carneiro, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, and The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gailman. All of them are ebooks, so it wouldn't count anyways. Oh, and Stay Where You Are and Then Leave by John Boyne, even though it's not on the list and also an ebook.Currently reading Life And Death by Stephenie Meyer (bought the last time I went to a bookstore), Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn and A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess (Black Friday; yes, easily distracted). During January, I'll basically read ebooks for college and analyse them, so I'll probably really start with physical editions in February, supposing I don't finish LaD, SO and ACO before that.
268 to go.
Cannot be counted:180 books

E-books that you own pre-2016 and start reading post January 2016 absolutely count for the challenge. The only books read at all in 2015 that can count are those that you didn't finish until 2016 (and had more than 50% left when January started).

Thanks, Bev!
Yeah, but I'd like to work more on my shelves, so I'm not planning to read that many ebooks anyways, only the ones for college. I only put Dispersão and Sharp Objects here because they were already on the list and I'd get confused when trying to count. Plus, my memory is shameful. But when the semester at college is finished, around March, I'll subtract them.
If there wasn't so many books that can't be counted, I'd actually be finishing this challenge too. But I keep reading things that are not on the list *hides*
It's not even fun anymore how many books I read while I'm in a bookstore, ignoring the piles I have at home *sighs*
There's some time I don't update things around here.Hello! *cleaning the spider's webs*
I confess that I started the year making real progress, but, well, I failed somewhere along the way. I started reading on Kindle or books I just bought or books that weren't even on the list. But as I just finished This Charming Man (that I'd tried to read for THREE YEARS!!!), I came here to update because I reached 36 books. I don't know if I'll make the 48 of the next mountain, but I'll try.
So, as This Charming Man is 37th, everything before today is from Mt. Vancouver.And I'm afraid to say that I read the impressive number of 180 books that I wasn't supposed to *sighs*
There's a lot of moving on my shelves, but not with the old ones, shamefully *hides*
Not my first challenge, but my first time here. I hope I don't give up as I usually do, because I have a lot to read on my shelves. Probably over 250 books. I won't set up a list, because I just read what I want to in a specific moment, so as I finish reading, I'll update. My only goal might be reading Outlander and Game of Thrones, but I make no promises either.
