Mount TBR 2016 discussion

Hi guys!
I am gearing up for my climb. I have a dedicated shelf on my GoodReads page to track my challenge reads and I will be using my 'want to read' shelf to show my TBR pile.
I review the books I read so you are welcome to friend or follow if you're interested in getting my book thoughts.
I will update my challenge numbers near the end of each month.
Good luck on your own climbs! :)

Good luck to you, Sophia!

Thanks, Bev! And good luck to you. :)

Here's my first check in for the challenge. Whew! I feel that I'm off to a good start and Mt. Olympus is in my sights beyond my current mountain. :)



YTD: 24/75

Thanks, Jessika!

Wow! You've made a great start!

Amazing, even to me, Bev. :)

Can't believe it is already time for my monthly check in, but I was pleased with all the books I got through in the 'shorty month'. ;)

YTD: 39

Wow, you are powering through. I keep getting distracted by those that aren't on my TBR pile. Did you have any stand out awesome books this month?

Thanks, Maxine!
I know what you mean about new book releases distracting from the pile. :)

Yes, I read several enjoyable books. Persuasion by Jane Austen, Dead Girl Running by Ann Noser, and A Guide to Jane Austen's England were probably my favorites for the month.

Persuasion is my favorite Austen--so far.. I haven't made it through all her books yet.

Me, too, Bev! :) Loved it!

Thanks, Jessika! I really want to get more done this year. :)

I've never read any of Jane Austen's books before but I have 6 or 7 sitting on my bookshelf waiting for me to get to them. I find them pretty intimidating to be honest, but my goal is to get through at least 3 of them this year

Oh, you are in for a treat, Maxine. Start with Pride & Prejudice to see how you like her stuff. Mansfield Park is probably the hardest one to get into. I love Persuasion which is the one I just listened to on audio.

Thanks for the rec, I'll put in my priority pile

Happy Easter, everybody!

Here's what I got done for March:


YTD 56/75

Definitely! I joined a month long TBR Pile challenge with a friend and her challenge helped me with both challenges. :)

Thanks, Jessika!

April was a nice long month and I was so glad to get in some good reading time while spring held off a bit longer.

YTD toward goal: 66/75

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, all!

This is an exciting moment because it will be my last post at Mt. Toro b/c I finished this level and am moving onward and upward.

YTD total: 82

Here's what I got read this month:


Wish me luck as I start on Sophia's Climb Part two
