Mount TBR 2016 discussion

I'm glad I came across this group, I've been wanting to tackle my TBR piles but keep getting distracted by shiny new books. This should help my motivation. I'm onto my second which is . I'm hoping its a good one.

Welcome to the climbing crew, Maxine!

Thanks Bev, I'm onto the next one now. Alan Cumiming's Not my fathers son.

That was the first book I read in 2015. I love Alan Cumming!

It was pretty amazing. I recognised his face but didn't know anything about him. After reading this that's definitely changed. He seems like a pretty great guy. It was so well written, and I cried several times lol.

Books so far-
1. The 5th Wave 4 stars
2. Not My Father's Son: A Memoir 4 stars
3. Dime Store Magic 3 stars

I did the audiobook for this one mostly because I love listening to him talk. I really enjoyed it.

Ooh, maybe I should listen to the audio book.

Looks like you read some great books this year! Also well on your way to go beyond Mt. Vancouver! I own couple of the books you've read like The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and The Book of Lost Things so maybe I should move them up higher.

The boy in the Striped Pyjamas is well worth a read. I want to say I enjoyed it, but i feel like that's the wrong word. I went in knowing almost nothing about it and i think that's part of the reason it will stay with me.
