Mount TBR 2015 discussion

I've decided to take on Vancouver for my first ever attempt at Mount TBR, although ideally I would like to be able to jump to Mount Ararat at some point through the year. I have made a promise to myself (and my beloved) that I will not buy myself another book until a good chunk of the ones I already own have been read, so there is my motivation! The books I have chosen for my challenge are about to be shelved.

Good luck, Sarah! Hope you are able to make your goal....so you can buy more books. ;-)

Thank you! I think the book buying pact will only become a real problem if the Winds of Winter is released this year... :)

Last night I finished the book I was reading and have made a start on my first book for my climb up Vancouver. It is A Dance with Dragons: After the Feast by George RR Martin, which has been on my list for around 8 months.

All done with A Dance with Dragons, so I'm now moving on to Ace, King, Knave by Maria McCann. I bought this book last September on a whim- I was at an author event at my local bookshop, and sadly the featured author didn't arrive. I didn't want to go home empty handed- who would?

Just checking in to update my Mount TBR progress, which is actually going very well! :) I've finished Ace, King, Knave, made an attempt at The King's Curse which I was given for Christmas (this was actually a DNF, but I am counting it because I made it more than 50% through before putting it down). I also read The 100 Most Pointless Things in the World, which I have owned for around 18 months. I am now reading a non-fiction book about Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolo Machiavelli, and Cesare Borgia called The Artist, the Philosopher, and the Warrior: The Intersecting Lives of Da Vinci, Machiavelli, and Borgia and the World They Shaped, which was a present from a friend back in 2012. So far, it is a very interesting read.

Making good progress!

Another check in:

I am still reading The Artist... . It became a little overwhelming, but I plan to go back to it so I am not DNFing. For my challenge I have listened to my last Hitchhiker's Guide audiobooks, which I have owned since 2012; as well as reading Mistress of Rome which I bought last year, And Another Thing... which I have had since 2011(ish), I Married the Duke which I have had since 2013, and a reread of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as it complied with the Mount TBR rules (the book was bought as a gift, specifically to reread it).

Hello!
Well, my first year taking part in Mount TBR has gone ok, but not great- I've managed 30 books.

The year was much more hectic than I imagined it was going to be. I had a surprise trip to Rome, got engaged and married to my partner of six years, and read a lot more for my uni courses than I thought I'd have to. Not hitting my target is a little disappointing but I'm going to try again for the same target in 2016.
