Mount TBR 2021 discussion

Sometimes challengers like to look for reading partners when they tackle a book on their TBR pile. If you have a book on your list for which you'd like host a Read-Along, feel free to advertise through a topic comment feed here--just add a new topic to start the ball rolling.

Be sure and remain tethered to your climbing buddies!

I am trying to read the backlog of books I missed from a classic lit book club I'm in as they keep referencing them (and since they have already read them I missed that chance of social motivation!). Let me know if one of these is in your TBR and you'd like to do a buddy read!

☑️ Dracula - buddy read (January 2021)
☑️ Far From the Madding Crowd (February 2021)
☑️ A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (March 2021)
☑️ Robinson Crusoe (April 2021)
🔥Don Quixote - buddy read ongoing through December 2021
🔥Villette - buddy read scheduled for July August 2021!

Antony and Cleopatra
Of Human Bondage
Idylls of the King
Ivanhoe
The Mill on the Floss
Othello
A Passage to India
Vanity Fair
Cranford I have since read these on my own.
War and Peace
Moby-Dick

Sunshine, that sounds great! I was just organizing my TBR last night so I will make sure I have it ready for January :)

Kate, that would be awesome! Would you be up for starting in February?

It's a plan!

None of these are on my TBR, but I'd love to reread Connecticut Yankee for the tenth time! Let me know if you're up for it after Dracula and Madding Crowd.

Alanna, that would be great! Would March work for you?

It would! I may need reminding, though.

I'll create a topic in buddy reads and if you have comment notifications enabled on that thread that should do it!

Hi! I can do Robinson Crusoe anytime after March :) Would be exciting to do buddy read again. Dracula had been fun :)

Alexandra, that would be awesome! Let's do April to keep some momentum here :) I'll create a topic!

I would be interested in buddy reading Villette. Maybe sometime over the summer?

Sarah, that sounds great! How about July?
