Mount TBR 2019 discussion

I've done Mount Olympus the last two years, and while it's been great fun, I need to give myself a lighter challenge for 2019. Meanwhile, my TBR mountains haven't gotten much smaller, so it's 100 this year instead of 150.

I do want to read more of my unowned TBR list, so I'm going to pair it with the White Plume Mountain goal (48) for the Virtual TBR Challenge, bringing my yearly goal to an entirely reasonable (for me) 148. This gives me a little more freedom to read what I want, read new releases, and also means I'm using the library again--I barely went this year, I missed it!

Good idea giving yourself a little more freedom to go to the library! Best wishes!

Welcome back, Elena! I'm just so impressed that you kept making Mount Olympus...I kept trying and not quite getting to that last peak.

Glad you'll be joining me over on the virtual peaks as well.

Good luck with 2019!

I'm doing the dual challenge with the Virtual TBR list too as I like to use my local library.

Yes I did! And I'm coming back in 2020 to do it again, my mountain of unread books did not get smaller this year after all.
