Mount TBR 2020 discussion

Look who's back for round 4? I'm hoping 2020 will be my El Toro year, but I'm starting with my tried and true Mt. Kilimanjaro. I think I know all the paths off Kilimanjaro by now, but there's always something new to experience in a climb. I'm a little behind on my 2019 challenge, but I'll try as hard as I can to reach the top since I haven't failed to complete a TBR mountain since I started out.

Glad you're joining me again!

Yay! We can climb together again. Good to see you back.

Comment:I just couldn't get on with it - the writing is so primary, and there are things that happen to further the plot that are too convenient and not at all convincing. Not my thing.

After a lovely book that I, unfortunately, can't count towards this challenge, my first DNF of the year. But that also means 4 books out of my shelves/kindle, so yay?

The second book in the Winternight trilogy, The Girl in the Tower, was my favourite in the series. Glad you liked the first in the series and I hope you enjoy the others.

I gave Genuine Fraud 3 stars too. I have Sorcery of Thorns on my radar...might bump it up the list abit.

I can't wait to read the next installments in the Winternight trilogy!
Genuine Fraud was a bit of a deception, but overall interesting.

You should definitely bump up Sorcery of Thorns up your list, it was such a good, delicious read! I'm wanting to pick up Rogerson's other novel An Enchantment of Ravens pretty soon!

I'm happy with my readings this month. I still have one or two books on-going that I may finish before the end of September, one of those counting towards my TBR.

Of the other on-going ones, only one not on my TBR: two from series I already started (one of those a conclusion), a classic, and two series starters (I know, I know, but I have to replace the ones I'm finishing).

Aand, that's it! The flag is planted, Kilimanjaro is, once again, conquered! I don't think I'll read anything else that'll count towards this challenge these last few days, so there's no point in trying to reach El Toro. So, till next year!
