Mount TBR 2015 discussion

I'll post my 48 books for the 2015 challenge here.

Best of luck to you.......

Good luck with the smaller climbe--and getting ready for your little one.

My strategy for this year, reading no library books, clearly is not working. I read 6 library books before finishing the first book I own.

1. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt (read 09/01/15)

Haha Ellinor, I understand you! I've started well with a couple of owned books but now I'm already champing at the bit to go to the library... I have to restrain myself!
Good luck with your climb!

Uh-oh! but I do understand...the library has been calling for me as well....

I'm really making much better progress than expected. I guess it is all to the amazing new bookshelf my husband gave me for Christmas. Now I don't have to store my books in boxes anymore but can actually see what I've got. It used to be, I'd like to read that book now but I have absolutely no idea where it could be. I could spend hours just looking at the books!

18. Chocky by John Wyndham (read 07/02/15)

19. Wie eine Hecke voll Himbeeren by Gunnel Linde (read 13/02/15)

How did you like A Hero of Our Time? It's sitting on my shelf waiting to be read as well :)

I was quite surprised by it and I really liked it. It is entirely not what I expected of a Russian writer. It's partially a passionate love story, partially a ghost story and partially something else. Definitely worth a read and a quick one at that.

22. Slow Man by J.M. Coetzee (read 19/02/15)

23. Walden by Henry David Thoreau (read 24/02/15)
24. Mojsche und Rejsele by Karlijn Stoffels (read 25/02/15)
