Mount TBR 2019 discussion

Hello! I discovered Mount TBR earlier this year but I didnt take part. I only a read a dozen of my own books this year even if I have about 200 unread books on my shelves. Ouch.

A big chunk of my TBR shelf is made of French classics I stole from my dad so each month I will read from one French literary period. Other than that I won't restrict myself too much; I will read 12 other classics during the year and I won't set a number of books each month, as long as my average is at least 5 of my own books read every month.

Monthly Totals

January
1. The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
2. Pantagruel
3. Grave Mercy

4. Lolita
5. Redeployment
6. The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Happy reading!

Glad you're joining us in 2019. Good Luck!

Good luck! Sounds like you have a great plan!

Not the best start to the year... to accomplish my goal I need to read 5 books a month and in January I only read three.



I'm currently reading another one so I'm 1.5 books behind schedule.

Not to worry -- a temporary deficit can be easily be made up.

Yup and if i even get too far behind ill jump in my comics TBR

In February I completed 5 books so I'm no more behind than I was at the end of January. I didn't track how many of my backlist books I was reading this month so for March I'm going to try a more structured TBR by pulling a couple of books off my shelves and placing them with my library loans. I'm hoping that my the end of the first quarter I'll be back on track, or even ahead.

I hope you were able to get some more TBR reading done!
