If you'd like to provide three (or less) you can either resubmit and I can delete the duplicate or you can post them here and I can add them to your existing sign up

It's gonna be interesting this year with messages not available anymore. Everybody promise to check in at least once a week lol

Melanie (mvalente89) | 1053 comments Very excited for this one! Time to finally read some of the chunky books on my TBR.

message 20: by Sam (new)

Sam A. | 82 comments This will be my second year participating 💃🫰very excited!!


message 21: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 2018 comments Me: “I’m getting a little burnt out. Maybe I should skip some of my team challenges this year.”

Also me: *sees this and immediately signs up* 🤣

I am reinvigorated!! (And also signed up with a book count that matches what I have been reading the last few months vs what I used to so that takes pressure off)


message 22: by Trio (new)

Trio | 323 comments haha Kaley - I hear that lol, but two of my challenges are finishing today and I'm feeling bereft, thank goodness I saw this one :)


message 23: by Rosaline (new)

Rosaline (Rosaline's Rolls & Scrolls) (rosalinesrollsandscrolls) | 57 comments Hello hello! I have no faith in my TBR shrinking at all. But this is gonna be fun!



message 24: by Shelby (new)

Shelby (stang_lee) | 2036 comments I'm so excited! Been waiting for TT sign ups to be back. And oooohhh a TBR based version...I don't know whether to be excited or scared. :D

Tricia (books2hooks) | 486 comments Yay!! I'm excited, and soooo happy this will be based on TBR cleanout. I need it desperately!!


message 27: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 9062 comments To infinity and beyond. Let's see what kind of tectonic movements will prevail in the mountain range of TBR when this ends (new peaks or new valleys)? 🙃😊


message 28: by Kelly (Maybedog) (new)

Kelly (Maybedog) (maybedog) | 486 comments I love this challenge! I just want to verify: We won't be required to only read books off our old to-read list? Most of what I read for other challenges is new to me. The answer will affect how many books I sign up for.

Thank you!


message 29: by Judith (new)

Judith (brownie72011) | 7825 comments Mod
No, that’s not a requirement

Absolutely not :-)

Either resubmit your entry and we'll erase the double, or post them here in the thread and we'll add the books to your sign-up.

Jenny | 8266 comments How many of us are grabbing a ton of large books off of our bookcases and putting them on a special TT shelf? You know, the one right by the sofa? Just me? Huh.

Me (books, kindle and audio-books all ready to go). I have many more to add to the shelf.

How have you been? Long time no see.


message 47: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8266 comments Cilla!!!!! Hello right back! I have been good and terrible and everything in between, like everyone living in this weird world right now. But, I went to a farmer's market yesterday and a local dairy has started making cheese curds, so life has taken a turn for the better! Seriously, I may have gotten just a little too excited over cheese curds.

How about you?

Actually some books that are on my actual bookshelves (and I just realised that I've forgotten to put them on my GR TBR) are now winking at me ... or maybe looking at me with strong disapproval? 🤔


message 50: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8266 comments So you get those "why did you buy me if you have barely glanced at the first page?" stares from your shelves too? I feel less alone. But still guilty.
