Mount TBR 2021 discussion

I know I'll read over 100 TBR books in a year, so I'll start here. For several years I bought books on eBay from a specific seller, but I have so many books now to last me for over 10 years, so I stopped that. Now I check on World of Books for English books, and AdLibris for No/Swe/Dk books; which are the 4 languages I read; if I'm looking for any specific. At least I put most of those I read up for sale at the end of the month, incl some that I'm not interested in that I find when looking for others. Found 13 this week, 11 of them childrens books that will go to a friend's grandchild.

Congrats on making Everest!!
