Mount TBR 2021 discussion

Oh dear. Well, last year was a bit crap. I indulged in retail therapy. I was glued to Youtube (so I heard about loads of books), and the TV (so I didn't read). I need to read some of the books collecting dust on my bookshelves, delve into the depths of my kindle and scroll through my audible collection.

Lower target this year. Aiming for half of my reads this year to cost me no extra money (so owned or borrowed).

Welcome back, Victoria! And good luck!

Total Books Read: 96

Series Started: 29
Series Where Only First Book Out: 7

Series Completed: 4
Series Caught Up: 2
Series Where I've Made Progress but Not Caught Up: 13

Currently reading 2 books (one would count for Mount TBR and finish a trilogy, the other catch up a series (with only vague plans for more)). Over a week to go, so may update again, but overall a success.

Next year, same goals.
24 of my own books.
Over half cost me no money.
6 series finished/caught up (which should be easy with so many second books coming out)
