VIRTUAL Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2020 discussion

This is my first year participating. I'm gathering my supplies and can't wait to make it to my personal first base (25 books) without falling. I have a lot of books on hold at my library/libby. I want to challenge myself ... reading books that I own, books that I can get at the library, AND books that are on my Goodreads to read shelf. This challenge will help me with the library/libby and Goodreads to read shelf. Thank you for hosting this challenge! I hope it will keep me accountable!

I read Rebecca with friends in a buddy read and it was great! My favorite character was Beatrice. Mrs. Danvers was super creepy!

Well Met was surprisingly good! I love Renn Faires. So this one was fun for me to read even though romance is one of my least favorite genres.

Agreed! I read maybe 4 contemporary romances last year and really enjoyed them but they are not my favorite genre. So I was pleasantly surprised! I also love Renn Faires! It was such a fun book!
