Lesley (eyelit) since I climbed El Toro (75) in 2017, I'm hoping I can read double (or more) that number from my tbr pile (shelves) in 2018. As a motivator, I'm on a book buying ban from January 1 until I reach at least 1/3 of the challenge. Fingers crossed I can do it!!


Hilary (A Wytch's Book Review) (knyttwytch) No buying books! eep! Good luck with the challenge though!

Kirsten (keslei) | 32 comments I really like the idea of a book-buying ban linked to percentage of challenge completion; I think I may institute something along those lines for myself, since I definitely need to stop buying books left and right... Good luck with your mountain - 150 books is quite the summit!

Kerstin (kerstinwoerterkatze) oh, God. A book-buying-ban? Are you sure? Good luck to climb and to not buy. 📚📖🍀

Lesley (eyelit) so I stopped updating here sometime this summer - but my mttbr2018 shelf shows that I read 128 of my own books last year... so I fell short of the goal (but still did pretty well considering). Will try again for sure. :-)
