Elinor | 15 comments I heard of this challenge through a reading buddy, and think it’s a great idea given the number of books on my shelf!

This will be my first climb - and I’m aiming for Mt Blanc.

So far I’ve read:
1. The Bat by Jo Nesbo
2. Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover
3. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
4. The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion
5. You are a Badass at Making money by Jen Sincero
6. So Long and Thanks for all the Fish by Douglas Adams
7. Arrowood #1 by Mick Finlay
8. The Vanishing Trick by Jenni Spangler

My other reads so far don’t qualify as I either acquired them this year or started them way too long ago.

Hoping to manage to fit in enough books in 2021.

Elinor | 15 comments Hello CinCo,

Thank you! I am doing quite well so far, and will also be reading books that weren’t previously on my TBR so... fingers crossed I manage to get enough of these older ones in this year.

Elinor | 15 comments I’ve finished Codependent No more by Melodie Beattie and am currently reading Live Bait by PJ Tracy and Skin Game by Caroline Kettlewell, which both qualify. I think I can finish them both this year and successfully climb Mt Blanc in 2021 🤞.
