Hi team! Checking in. :)

Anyone know what they'll be reading first for this challenge? I'm not a real big planner, so I'm not sure yet for myself.

Checking in. Hi, team!

Ways to double our footage this round:
1. set in Kentucky
2. title, author, or MC begins with B
3. "mountain" in title
4. mountain is a major setting

I'll be reading most of . The pages will double, as one of the MC's (POV character) name is Boone and the author's last name is Bradley.

Let's double as many books as we can and get them read and posted as quickly as we can. Let's win this race to the top!

Good to go ....

Hi Team, great to be working with you all. Off to find my first read.

Hello Team! I'm excited to start this challenge with you all! :)

Mountain #1: Black Mountain (Kentucky, 4,144 ft)

Ways to double our footage/page points this round:
1. The book is set in Kentucky
2. The book's title, name of author, or name of MC begins with "B"
3. "Mountain" is in the book's title or series name/title
4. A mountain is a major setting in the book

Round 1 Team Goal: 4,144 pages (read within the March 1-May 31 period)


With these things in mind, the books I'll be reading in March are:
- 318 pages
- 384 pages
- 352 pages
Author's last name is Blackstock.

I'll also be finishing the last 131 pages of:
by Brian Bird & Michelle Cox

...and the last 142 pages of:
by Elwyn Brooks White

Hi guys, checking in :). I'm probably gonna finish for Black Mountain since the author's last name is Brodersen. Can't wait :)

Looks great on the books, y’all! So excited about this game and our team!!!

Update: If the series contains the word "mountain" that would also work to double points. :)

I'm so glad that people are excited for this challenge! :D

Thanks for the update, Megan!

I'm always excited for the games Melanie and you create. Y'all have such wonderful imaginations!

Another book I've barely begun has an MC with the last name of Burne. So I've got my first two books lined up.

Ooh, that one looks good. I'll be interested to see what you think of it.

Doesn't it?! The first couple of chapters were good. I've had to set it aside for others right now... but I'm eager to get back to it!

Thanks for letting me join! I'm starting with Not By Sight by Kate Breslin.

Such a great story... enJoy!

The Mountains Bow Down by Sibella Giorello

An excellent story and doubling option if anyone likes suspense and needs another book option-

Agreed! :)

Checking in-- hello, everyone! :) I've got a whole pile of books I need to dive into, and I'm sure that at least half of them can be used to double the points... I'll have to look though. :D Sorry I'm late!

Merie, you're not late. The game begins on March 1, so you're actually early! :)

Merie, your pup's picture in your profile is too cute! The white spot on his chin is like my pup's (Though mine's not so small anymore)!

Black mntn now 1098' less to climb ,,,,

Happy climbing Readers 😉

Aw thanks, Hannah! xD

I've started Life's That Way. It has a B author, so hopefully it'll be a quick read. :)

Great start today!

Yes, our team is already off to a great start! :)

I'll be finishing a book and posting for 142 pages that will be doubled tomorrow (B author name).

For my first book I’m reading Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams. Or does their last name have to start with b?

First name is fine also. :)

Awesome! I also found a book set in Kentucky.

We were quickly beat to the top of Black Mountain, so we are starting on a new mountain...

Mountain #2: King's Peak (Utah, 13,527 ft)

Ways to double our footage/page points this round:
1. The book is set in Utah
2. The book's title, name of author, or name of MC begins with "K"
3. "Mountain" is in the book's title or series name/title
4. A mountain is a major setting in the book

Round 2 Team Goal: 13,527 pages (read within the March 1-May 31 period)

I’m now focused on finishing the last 126 pages of a Karen Kingsbury book I’m in the middle of.

Ok. Will find new reads.

We need to remember that we dont have to read books that meet the doubling criteria. We can read whatever we want and the pages we read during this challenge, in any books we finish during this challenge, will count toward any mountain we are climbing. 🙂

Yep. Still working on five different books I had going already. Hopefully a few of them will end up being quick reads.

Sadly, most of the books I am reading this month would have doubled for Mountain #1, but not for Mountain #2, however with Mountain/Round #1 lasting less than 2 and a half days, I’m getting the feeling we’re going to be cycling through mountains fast, and I’m hoping that some of my March reads will double for upcoming mountains.

Yeah... the speed of the other team was eye-opening! I usually have several books going, so they get finished in clumps sometimes.

I like that you're looking ahead, Monique. I think that's smart. As long as we keep books coming, we should snag a couple of mountains along the way, right?!

I’ll be reading The Bride of Ivy Green by Julie Klassen

I have quite a lot of books I need to read for review this month I'm sure some of them will count as double.

Is that the second book in the series? I've only read the first book so far.

That's book 3 - the conclusion to the series

It’s book 3. It’s one of my review books and I didn’t realize it was number 3. So I’m switching to The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill and gonna try to read the whole series this month.

The series is lovely. I really enjoyed it!

I'm also in the middle of a few books. I'm just now reading "A defense of honor" by Kristi Ann Hunter, so this one will double for Mountain #2.

I’m really enjoying it, so far.

Oh, we're already to mountain number two now! Luckily, K is a much easier letter to look around for... xD

Yay, I just added a book that doubled in pages. We are currently ahead :)!

Well done, ladies!

I just posted my first book. It was a partial that doesn't double, but at least I marked it off my list and got us a bit of footage.
