You should be able to delete your thread on the smaller mountain. Let me know if you can't and want me to do it for you.
I deleted my posts under Pike’s Peak, but not sure I am totally deleted.

Looks like it worked!
I have never done this before. It looks like most people have listed the books they plan on reading. I was trying to keep it more flexible. I am planning on doing the MMD Reading Challenge and possibly the 52 Weeks one.

Anything is up for grabs as long as you own it before January 1, 2020. :D

I always keep it flexible myself--though some of my reading is planned because of other challenges I do.
Well, I have to confess that I stocked up on several books this week before starting this challenge. Decided that my first book will be small great things. It satisfies “a book about a medical profession” from my 52 Week Challenge ✅and it is sitting on my shelf.✅.
Ugh! I already purchased a new book!😫 I should stop getting those emails with daily specials.

I bought myself two sets of books before 2019 was finished...just so they'd count for this year's challenge. Like I don't already have plenty of books on the mountain peaks to read....
Ugh! Went to B&N to meet friends for coffee and knitting. Couldn’t resist buying Such a Fun Age. I have been seeing it everywhere and can use it as a debut book for my MMD Challenge. Of course, I could have chosen something I alrrsdy own.😳
Carol wrote: "Ugh! I already purchased a new book!😫 I should stop getting those emails with daily specials."I unsubscribed from all those ebook special emails for exactly this reason. My physical TBR was already bad enough, and then I added all these digital reads... Of course, saying this, I JUST signed up to receive emails with special audiobook deals. 🙄 My justification was that audiobooks are SO expensive, so these deals are legitimately great...we'll see how long before I have an audio "pile" and have to unsubscribe from those too!
Finished my First Book from my TBR!!!1. Small Great Things-Jodi Picoult
5. The Martian- Andrew Weir (audiobook)
Ok-correction-1) Small Great Things
2) A Woman Is No Man
3) The Martian
4) Wild
Ugh! I can’t resist those library book sales!!! 8 books for $8. Backsliding on my climb.
Just finished The Queen of Hearts- Book #5. It was ok-3 stars.
Book#6- Have You Seen Luis Velez?-audiobook
Book 7-A Quiet Life in the Country-audiobook
Book #8-The Sun Does Shine-The Sun Foes Shine-Anthony Ray Hinton-5-stars!!!
Fell off the wagon-finished a book that I borrowed from the library and read a one I bought in January.😳I read a total of 8 books from my TBR for the first month.😀

Sorry for the slow response. I liked it, but some of the things she did were “oh no!”. I actually used this for a Reading Challenge I am doing fir a character that frustrated me.
February was a bad month for reading my tbr- just one book from my shelf. One Day in December
Book 10-The Giver of Stars. Finally read this November 2019 BOTM selection. I joined BOTM in early 2019 and this is the first book I actually read. I used it for my Reading Challenge-a hardcover book.
Book 11-The Woman in the Window. A fantastic book, even though I usually don’t read thrillers. Bought it kast year at a library sale.
Book 12-The Wedding Date. A VERY light romantic comedy for my Reading Challenge-a book by a local challenge.Half way there!!!
Book 13-Eleanor Olphant is completely fine-5-stars!!!
Book 15-reread Bossypants for my MMD Reading Challenge. A funny book to read for those needing a good laugh.
Book 16-The Dutch House Finally got to read this one. I bought it last year before going to see Ann Patchett speak at a local bookstore event. I thought it was very good and look forward to reading some of her other books adorning my shelves.
Book 17-How Reading Changed My Life by Anna QuindlenA short book used for my Reading Challenge
Book 18-Ayesha at Last by Uzma JalaluddinI bought this book last summer, It was one of the books on the MMD Summer Reading Guide 2019. I thought it was 3-stars.
