Tanelle, Good luck with your mountain! Just so you know--since you've set 36 as your goal--I have moved your list to the Mt. Vancouver Crew.

Completed my second book of the year. Had a couple library books comes in so I'm going to tackle those first before I get back to this list.

3: The Buried Giant (1/19-1/20)

3: The Buried Giant (1/19-1/20)

4: The Girl on The Train (2/28/16-3/2/16)

5: Havana Storm. Clive Cussler

I've had a flurry of library books come in so I haven't been able to get to my TBR pile as much as I would like.

6: Fate: My Blood Approves. Amanda Hocking

7: piranha. Clive Cussler

8: Kill Shakespeare Volume 2 (graphic novel)

No library books expected for awhile so I'm trying to power through as many of my TBR pile as I can

9: Blink. The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. Malcolm Gladwell

10: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. The Sword of Summer. Rick Riordan.

Been flying through my TBR pile this week. Hopefully this momentum continues.

11: Tracker. (Sigma Force 7.5). James Rollins

12: Mark of Athena. Rick Riordan

13: The Great Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald

14: House of Hades. Rick Riordan

15: Discovery of Witches. Deborah Harkness. This was a reread but I didn't own the book the first time I read it

16: Blood of Olympus. Rick Riordan

17: Kill Switch. James Rollins

18: Eye of God. James Rollins.

I've now caught up on all the books on my husband's Kobo. Time to see which paperbacks I have sitting on my shelf. My strategy recently was to read the books I knew I could fly through quickly. As evidenced by how many books I've read in the past two weeks I think it worked.

19: Peter Pan. JM Barrie

I started this one back in January and have been reading it to my 4-year old at bedtime so it took me awhile to get though. Honestly I didn't like it much and probably wouldn't recommend it

20: Cosmos. Carl Sagan.

This one took me two-weeks to read so I'm a little far behind my schedule

21: ultimate fairy tale treasury.

Another one that I read to my daughter. She was given it for Christmas a couple years ago and she's just old enough to understand them now

22: The Road. Cormac McCarthy

Honestly I hated this one. Glad that's it's done and not sitting on my shelf anymore though

23: Go Set A Watchman. Harper Lee

24: Cold Mountain. Charles Frazier

This one gave me a lot of trouble and took forever to finish

25: key of Valor. Nora Roberts

I'm struggling to get to the top of the mountain by the end of the month. But nevertheless it sure has helped me tackle my TBR pile

26: Everything I Never Told You. Celeste Ng

27: Best Laid Plans. Terry Fallis

28: The New Canada. Preston Manning

29: The Highlanders Touch. Karen Marie Moning

30: The Lucky One. Nicolas Sparks

Not sure if I'm going to finish. I know it's only 6 books and I have 2 weeks left but I also got hit with 5 library books all at once. I'm hoping to knock off at least 2 more books from my TBR pile by the end of the year. I had a gap of 6 months where I didn't read anything from it and that really hurt me

31: Big Magic. Elizabeth Gilbert
