Mount TBR Challenge 2024 discussion

We're over halfway through January and I realized I totally forgot to start a topic for my climb!! Whoops!!

Last year I also climbed Mt. Vancouver, and *almost* reached Mt. Ararat, but not quite. So this year I'm sticking with Vancouver again. 😊 Looking forward to another successful year!

Start Date: 01/01/2024
Finish Date (... For Mt. Vancouver): 07/29/2024

I only read a couple of my own books in March... but with my progress in January and February, I'm in a really good place to finish this and maybe more!

Update... we're on the first full week of May & I have 16 books left in this challenge! Right on track.

Read a total of 4 of my own, older books in May! At this pace maybe I'll be able to jump to the next peak. :)

A quick update before the end of the month... I had a feeling I was getting close to the end and I am merely one book away from finishing my climb! In fact I'll finish before the end of the month!! :) In August I'll decide whether or not to try and climb the next peak before the year's end.

Well as it turns out I completed this tier back in July!! I'm at 41 of my own books as of the end of August so I think I'm going to be bumping things up to another tier... at this pace I think I can safely give Kilimanjaro a shot. Moving up and onward! 😁
