Mount TBR 2021 discussion

So... not being able to shop in an actual bookstore for actual books made my fingers itchy. And I bought a TON of e-books this year 🤷🏻‍♀️. I already had enough at the beginning of last year for 2-3 years. But now... this is ridiculous. So I’m back. Olympus or bust!!!

Quirkyreader, I read the version translated by Carmen Acevedo. It was beautiful.

Quirkyreader, it was both ☺️

For a reading challenge, I had to read two books with the same title.
I’d already read Thomas H Cook’s Cloud of Unknowing. But I re-read it as a Buddy Read. So then I decided to use the religious text, The Cloud of Unknowing, as the partner to that task.

For the purposes of MountTBR, this is the religious text, as the Cook version didn’t fit the challenge.
