Mount TBR 2016 discussion

Right, so last time I counted, I owned more than 1000 paper books and 100-200 audiobooks and e-books that were unread. It's probably more now, so for this challenge I want to read/listen to 48 printed books & audiobooks in 2016.

I'll place a ✔ and a date, when I finish a book.
My audiobooks aren't all added to Goodreads, so the "date added" might be in 2016 even though I have had them for a while.

15/4 ***REACHED PIKE'S PEAK***
11/6 ***REACHED MOUNT BLANC***
18/8 ***REACHED Mt. VANCOUVER***

These are the books I plan to read during the first half of 2016:

1. Distant Star ✔ 19/1
2. Carol ✔ 9/4
3. The Best American Short Stories 2008✔ 8/3

Welcome to the 2016 Climb! Good luck!

You're good! I can't plan out a list of books to read. Every time I try to do that, I find myself dragging my feet on reading the books on my list. It's like I resent being told what to read -- even when it's me telling myself! I'm definitely a mood reader. Good luck with your list--and your mountain! I'll be climbing alongside you. Perhaps we can share oxygen. ;)

I'll probably end up changing some of them along the way Amy, I usually do :-) Feel free to share my oxygen and coffee anytime!

Let's do that Jessika - I haven't read anything by him yet, but I've been meaning to for a while. When will suit you?

First chunk to be knocked off Mount TBR!

I listened to Station Eleven last year and really enjoyed the narrator. Hope you enjoy it!

And away we go! Good luck!

3 out of the 4 I should have read in january - ooh those tempting library books!
Luckily I have a week off work in february, so I'll try to catch up.

Great start, Louise!

Right, sofar I've read 9 owned, older print books this year - and aquired 27.... - but still my total for books read/listened to is 62 :-)

I've also cleared 9 audiobooks - so Pike's Peak is done

18/8 Reached Mt. Vancouver :-)

Well done!

Yay! Good job! I'm right behind you--just half of a book left to go!

I'm waiting at the top with tea and cookies Amy! :-)

Louise wrote: "18/8 Reached Mt. Vancouver :-)" Yay!!

I'm here, Louise--let's have those cookies and tea before we start the final ascent! :)

I think I'll make it ☺

Only 2 DNF so far - could be worse, and a bunch of books already passed on :-)

3 print books and 1 audiobook to go!
