Mount TBR 2016 discussion

Looking forward to joining all the other Pikes Peak-ers in reaching the top of our TBR climb. I'm not picking out any books in advance but will check in here as I finish each book.

Welcome Colleen!

Made my start by dedicating New Year's Day to reading :)

Book 1 - As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust by Alan Bradley:

Finished another one yesterday!

Book 2 - The Bollywoodd Bride by Sonali Dev:

With the 24in48 readathon this weekend, I knocked 3 books of my TBR

Book 3 - Ten Good Seconds of Silence by Elizabeth Ruth


Book 4 - Afterimage by Helen Humphreys


Book 5 - Orphan #8 by Kim van Alkemade

I've made a bit more progress on my challenge:

Book 6 - The World is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman


Book 7 - The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber

How did you like The World Is Flat? I've had it in my TBR stack for years & have pulled it out to read this year.

It's good but I read the original 2005 version (it's been updated twice since then) so it felt dated. It was longer than it needed to be so it did drag sometimes but for the most part it was really interesting. I had it on the shelf for years, I wish I had picked it up sooner.

You're more than half-way there! Doing great.

Thanks! I also have had it for a long time & would like to get it moved off. It is a very big book -- kind of daunting, esppecially since it's my goal to read 150 books this year. Reading a big one like that makes it hard to keep the numbers up, but I would rather read old TBR books & get them gone than hit any particular number.

More progress!

Book 8 - Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson


Book 9 - The Vinyl Cafe Notebooks by Stuart McLean


Book 10 - Stop Over-thinking Your Money by Preet Banerjee

Just a couple more steps to go!

One more down....

Book 11- The Secret History by Donna Tartt

Thanks for doing the Check-in Post! You're doing great! I have also been doing the Triple Dog Dare and it has definitely helped me stay on track with my own books this year.

Oh, I've really slowed down... But, I did finish Book 12 so I've hit the top of this mountain and am going to leap over to Mont Blanc!

Book 12 - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon

Congratulations! See you on Mount Blanc!
