Sheila Howes Hello, I'm Sheila and I think this is my third climb (or possibly fourth?). I've somehow managed to buy more books (71) than I've read (it will be minimum 48 as I'm en-route to Mount Ararat - 4 to go - by the end of the month) from my TBR in 2020.

So 2021 is going to need to be a bigger challenge. Hence the decision to attempt El Toro!

Leslie Good luck & good reading to you in 2021, Sheila!

It is awfully hard to keep the new books from outnumbering the ones you manage to read off your shelves, isn't it?! And there are always library books to compete as well... sigh. Ah well, it keeps up climbing :)
