Mount TBR 2021 discussion

Help, I need more room on my shelves! Time to sort through all those unread and/or forgotten books.

After I failed miserably in 2020, I want to attack my Mount TBR with more conviction this year. Therefore I raised the bar to 36 books - fingers crossed my shelves will be much lighter by the end of 2021. ;-)


Additional rules I set myself:
1.) two-thirds physical books (15/24) -- one-third ebooks (10/12)
2.) re-reads are only allowed under the following conditions:
- a book needs to be re-read in order to decide whether to give it away or not
- a book needs to be re-read in order to continue with a series
- I have completely forgotten what the book is about/can't remember reading it in the first place.

Welcome back, Angie! Good luck with your 2021 climb!
