Here‘s what I got so far @jenniferw88 #JennyIs30
Literary - Olive Kitteridge
Gothic - Frankenstein
Chronic Illness - I Found My Tribe
Thriller - Case Histories

Megabooks Whoa! You‘re making progress! 5y

Cinfhen Thanks, Meg 🥰 @Megabooks (edited) 5y

BarbaraBB I just decided to use Case Histories for ‘detective‘ because I felt unsure to use it for thriller 😂 5y

Cinfhen I wasn‘t sure if a private investigator was the same as detective but it really is! Maybe I‘ll switch it too @BarbaraBB 5y

Reviewsbylola I still need to start Case Histories! This month is getting away from me already. 5y

Stealing @Caterina's idea, I am hoping to stick to this #TBR for next month. (just kidding, me and sticking to a TBR, that's quite hilarious)

There are #buddyreads and #ReadAlongs

#ZusakAMonth @MinDea @EadieB
#DraculBuddyRead @TheReadingMermaid
#OokBOokClub @TricksyTails
#12Littens12Books @LittleBug - Cinnamon and Gunpowder

Monsternanny and Odd I want to finish reading with my kids, both are in German actually.

EadieB Don‘t forget our Month of Kristin Hannah too! 6y

julesG @EadieB I have that one on the back burner. Don't know yet, whether I want/can do it, too. Plus, I need to check my personal library for a book by her, I cannot buy another book. I've spent my November and December book budget. 6y

bunny I love the way you're tracking this! It must be satisfying to be able to visualize your reading progress. 6y

julesG @bunny I hope so. It's a first for me. As I mentioned, I stole the idea from another Litten. 6y

MinDea This is such a great way to track all your books! 👏👏👏 6y

#MountTBRchallenge

Hey everyone! Week 2 is at an end. How are you doing? How many TBRs have you hacked from the mountain this week? Since Jan 1st? And how many total (including non-TBRs, because we know how much willpower we all have 😂)

LitsyHappenings

DivaDiane Me, I‘m slowly working my way through 3 TBRs: Pigeon English (for #LPMBC), Anne of Avonlea (on @SerialReader) and Cloud Atlas (on audio). Not anywhere close to finishing any of them, so that‘s still 1/45 for me. 7y

quirkyreader I finished book 7 yesterday. 7y

DivaDiane @quirkyreader That‘s awesome!! 7y

Bostonmomx2 I‘ve read 5 and 2 of those were books I owned. I‘m reading 6 and 7 right now and both are books I own (although one is a reread so.....) 7y

Laughterhp I am such a slacker. I have just started my first MountTBR Book today! I‘ve been too busy reading books for my other challenges! I‘ve read 5 books and 5 graphic novels so far this month. 7y

2BR02B Finished my fourth book over the weekend and started my fifth! 7y

julesG Finished 6 books off my #MountTBR since Jan 1. Finished 7 books in total. 7y

DivaDiane @Bostonmomx2 @2BR02B @julesG Well done!! 7y

DivaDiane @Laughterhp Ah well, you‘ve read a lot though! 7y

Birdsong28 Still on my second book as it's quite big and I have had a stocktake at work so I was in till quite late on Wednesday. So still not quite getting through it as I would like but my other books are smaller so I should be quicker with them. 📚📖 7y

Simona Three and working on fourth. 7y

Pamwurtzler Working on book 6! 7y

Bkwurm Working on my second #MountTBR book. The first was 416 pages, now halfway through the second. 👍🏼 7y

GlassAsDiamonds @Birdsong28 & @Bkwurm - oh good! Two for me as well!! Solidarity in slow and steady 😊🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 (edited) 7y

RaimeyGallant One DNR, one read, one started. Not great, but I'll catch up. 7y

Mdargusch One more this week so two total. 7y

AnneCecilie Still reading the same books as last week, guess that is what happens when one participates in two buddy reads and reads a classic 7y

drokka Seven books read for the year, three from my TBR. One of my current reads is also from my TBR list. 7y

eanderson Still sitting at 2 but I‘m reading 3 books right now. :) 7y

DivaDiane @drokka @eanderson More book polygamists!! 7y

DivaDiane @Birdsong28 Thats the spirit! 7y

DivaDiane @Simona @Pamwurtzler @Bkwurm @GlassAsDiamonds @Mdargusch @RaimeyGallant It‘s a good start! Onward so! 7y

DivaDiane @AnneCecilie There will be ups and downs, sounds like you are getting some good reading in! 7y

drokka @DivaDiane I wouldn't get any reading done if I were a monogalit I've always got an audiobook, generally two mysteries (cozy, historical, or contemporary mystery/thriller), a romance, and now postal tour ones too. Huzzah for mood reading 😂 7y

DivaDiane @drokka Huzzah! Mine vary more by format; I‘ve got a dead-Tree book, an audio book, a book on SerialReads (and sometimes an ebook), then I read aloud to my son and my husband (different books). I also always have a poetry collection in the works and sometimes a non-fiction. 7y

Smarkies Sitting at number 2 right now... Hoping to get through that and number 3 by next week. 😁 7y

mrp27 😩😩 Horrible! The first two books I've read this year have been library books. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze one in off my pile before the month ends. 7y

DivaDiane @Smarkies Great job! 7y

DivaDiane @mrp27 Library books could count if you‘ve put them off over a month. But best only if that‘s a pattern you‘d like to break! Make the next book count! 7y

April2 I started book 5 of the month today! All from my TBR list. Halfway through the month & almost 5 books down. That never happens! 😃 7y

Ok all you lovely peeps joining me me on the #mounttbrchallenge! We‘ve just completed our first full week of the challenge! How are you doing? How many books have you read. Were they good? How do you like “shopping” your own shelves?

Me, I‘ve only managed to finish one book and that is the one I‘ve been reading to my son.

rubyslippersreads, Amandajoy, quirkyreader, Peddler410, Laura317, Lcsmcat, kspenmoll, Smarkies, PurpleyPumpkin, drokka, Pamwurtzler, AnneCecilie, josie281

DivaDiane I‘m trying to tag everyone, but it‘s taking forever. Feel free to repost! 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I joined MountTBR on Goodreads, is this similar? 7y

rubyslippersreads Does it count that I read a Kindle Unlimited book so I can cancel my free trial? 😄 7y

Eggs I've read 8 of purchased tbrs and some on kindle purchased after January 1 🙄🤔😳!! 7y

Lindy I brought along a couple of my TBR books with me on holidays and have just started the first. Early days, but I‘m wondering why I waited years to start

The Colony Of Unrequited Dreams

GlassAsDiamonds One!!!!!!! (But it‘s Kohinoor so I‘m counting it as 753 million...or an albatross... or the white whale rendered into a matte black book to taunt me with whispers of promises to read it... I‘ll stop now, I think I‘m slightly giddy with relief! 😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂!). One, one down, many but lovely books to go. 😊😊😊 7y

BookKenz Zero!! But I've already read three books this year... See this is my problem, must read the books I own! 🙈 (edited) 7y

AnneCecilie I haven't finished a book jet. I'm reading 3, and am not sure if I can count anyone of them for mount tbr. One is started in 2017 and the other 2 were bought for buddy reads now in January. I'll come back stronger 😀 7y

Pamwurtzler I‘ve done 3, and then got distracted with library books! Back to #MountTBRChallenge as soon as I‘m done with the current one! 7y

Birdsong28 Have finished my first book onto my second. Not had much time as have been working quite a bit but it's helping me keep focused on what I will be reading next as this is my issue as sometimes I am not sure of what I feel like reading and end up reading books I have just bought. 📚📖 7y

Valink I just joined today, so when I get home from work I plan on browsing my piles of books and setting a goal for myself of which/how many of my already owned books to read this year. Do books that I started a year or two ago then abandoned count if I finish them this year? I have a pile of those too! 😂😂 7y

LeahBergen I‘m currently reading The Luminaries which has been on my TBR for 4 years .... so I‘m doing pretty well! 😂😂 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes Hahaha I've finished 2 books and I owned neither of them. But I AM in the middle of 2 that I own! One of them is also The Luminaries, so that's gonna take A WHILE. 😂 7y

DivaDiane @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes, but they require the book to have been purchased before 2018. At this point in our game, yes, but we are also for library books, school textbooks, anything that‘s been waiting at least a month, but the longer it‘s been languishing the better! 7y

DivaDiane @rubyslippersreads If it‘s been on your kindle for longer than a month, yes. 7y

DivaDiane @Eggs That‘s fine! We don‘t require you to read ONLY TBRs, but if you need some rigor you could stipulate that you may read/purchase one new book for every 2 (or whatever you think will work for you) read from your TBR Pile. 7y

DivaDiane @Lindy Wonderful! I can‘t tell you many books shopped from my own shelves about which I‘ve asked myself the same question!! 7y

DivaDiane @GlassAsDiamonds 😂😂😂😂Well done! 7y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I forgot to count that one! 😊 7y

DivaDiane @Kenziejo Maybe you could also benefit from stricter rules: starting now, you could reward yourself with a new book for every 2 read that you already own. What do you think? 7y

DivaDiane @AnneCecilie The one started in 2017, sure, if you started it before December, I‘d say. The others, technically, no. But no worries! 7y

DivaDiane @Pamwurtzler Library books count, sort of because they are on a deadline. Especially, if you‘ve had to renew them because they‘ve gone unread. Also, if they‘ve been on a Want-to-read list for a long time, they can count. It‘ll leave it up to you how lenient you want to allow yourself to be. 7y

DivaDiane @Birdsong28 That‘s a good start, though! 7y

DivaDiane @Valink They absolutely count! 7y

DivaDiane @LeahBergen Well done!! 7y

DivaDiane @Natasha.C.Barnes Great job! 7y

AnneCecilie @DivaDiane no, started in December,but there's still 11,5 months left. Plenty of time to tackle the mountain of tbr 😀 7y

julesG Finished two, started three. I am doing fine. I actually love shopping my kindle, 700+ books that all sound interesting. 😉 7y

Lcsmcat Finished 2, one great, one horrible and am currently reading 2 more from my TBR. 7y

Peddler410 I‘ve read two and I‘m on my third. Super glad to have them done. Enjoyed both and the current read is going well! 7y

DGRachel Two out of the three books I‘ve finished count for Mount TBR and two of the three I‘m currently reading count as well. I‘m rather pleased with myself. 😊 7y

Pamwurtzler @DivaDiane thanks! I think I‘m just going to count books I already own for this one -my goal is to read down what‘s on my kindle! I‘m thinking this will be interesting. 7y

drokka I've listened to three, read one (but it's a #TheCanadianYour book and one I had never heard of). Unless another book your book shows up today, I'll be starting my first one for this challenge tonight. 7y

Andrew65 Only read one from my #MountTBRChallenge, but am aiming to get to one book a week from this challenge.

Elegy for Eddie: A Maisie Dobbs Novel

(edited) 7y

Velvetfur Erm....haven't started it yet... I started the year by finishing off a book I'd been reading for months, and then I've started on one of my #litsypassport ones as I was really looking forward to that challenge. But I bought the book a few months ago, specifically for this challenge, so it kinda counts as one of my TBR pile...! 7y

DivaDiane @julesG That‘s awesome! Happy reading! 7y

DivaDiane @AnneCecilie Good attitude! 7y

DivaDiane @Lcsmcat woot! 7y

DivaDiane @Peddler410 Nice job! 7y

DivaDiane @DGRachel As well you should be! 7y

DivaDiane @Pamwurtzler Sounds good. I personally, also count only books I own. But some people need it also to get control of their library borrows! 😜 7y

DivaDiane @drokka Audio books count if they fit the criteria. My Audible queue is a mile long! 7y

DivaDiane @Andrew65 That‘s what I‘m hoping too, but more realistic would be 40 -45 for the year. (edited) 7y

DivaDiane @Velvetfur It totally counts! 7y

Velvetfur @DivaDiane Yay! 😀 Thanks 👍 7y

drokka Oh my gosh, I did 4 audiobooks and yes, the one I forgot about qualifies. I'd set the hold back in August. I have, I think 3 others that I'm still waiting on, but after that, I usually grab new releases 😁

Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz Chickens

DivaDiane @drokka Ah, I see! 7y

Smarkies I am reading a Litsy postal book club one right now. But I have stopped myself from buying books.... 🤣🤣 7y

Pamwurtzler Hahaha I need to get hold of the library borrows too! One thing at a time!! 😂 7y

Laura317 @DivaDiane I‘m in the middle of a few books on my tbr. Hoping to finish one or two this week. #MountTBRChallenge 7y

Ash.on.the.line I‘ve finished one this last week! 🙋🏻‍♀️ working on two others. The chunksters slow me down a bit! 😬😅 7y

josie281 I‘ve been too busy closing out the calendar year so I haven‘t finished a book yet 😬 but I‘m listening to an audiobook I already own and reading Godsgrave which I preordered last October. So far so good! 7y

Amandajoy I‘ve been traveling so I haven‘t been able to finish any so far ☹️ 7y

Mdargusch I finished one book from my Mt. TBR. 🙋🏼‍♀️ 7y

BookishTrish One! 7y

DivaDiane @Smarkies Me too! Haha! 7y

DivaDiane @Pamwurtzler 😂 7y

DivaDiane @Amandajoy Oh, that‘s too bad! Do you have to drive? For me Travel means lots of time to read. I usually take trains or fly. But if I you have to drive you could try audiobooks. But that won‘t necessarily reduce your TBR 😩 7y

DivaDiane @Laura317 @Ash.on.the.line @josie281 @Mdargusch @BookishTrish You are doing well! Keep it up! 7y

quirkyreader As of now I have finished four. And I am working on five and six. 7y

PurpleyPumpkin So far, I‘ve finished one book. Given that I was on holiday last week, I thought I was going to be well ahead of the game! But sadly not. Still, I‘ll soldier on. Thanks for checking in! I appreciate the motivation. 😉 7y

DivaDiane @quirkyreader Wow! Great job! 7y

DivaDiane @PurpleyPumpkin My pleasure! I also thought I‘d be farther ahead, but oh well! 7y

Amandajoy I usually do audio books when driving or flying because I get sick if I read. Right now I‘m traveling for work/school stuff so it means I don‘t have a lot of down time to read. Hopefully it‘ll get better soon, but I‘m starting a new program so I may not get a lot of reading done in the next couple months. 7y

kspenmoll Just finished one; back at work now so my reading slows way down! Oops I take that back; It was a library book not TBR!!! So zero this week. (edited) 7y

DivaDiane @Amandajoy Hope so! 7y

DivaDiane @kspenmoll Oops! But if it‘s a library book you‘d renew at least once/had more than a month, then it counts! 7y

CareBear I‘d like to join too! This is my unofficial goal every year. 7y

kspenmoll @DivaDiane Now, I like your thinking!!!! 7y

DivaDiane @CareBear Yes, please join us!! If you have any questions, just ask! If you read through my posts on the subject you should get it. 😊 7y

Progress: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to the Future | Johan Norberg

TBH I‘m a little discouraged on my reading right now. My goal was 52 📚 and I don‘t think I‘ll make it. Finishing the #ReadHarder challenge is feeling like slog and I keep bailing on challenge books. I am taking stock and think next year I‘m going to read fewer books, harder books, and not do challenges. Read more philosophy, religion & history— maybe try to find my meaning in life, all that. And of course as much politics as I can stomach, too.

Caroline2 Yep, I've been thinking of making a similar resolution too! I defo want to read more classics next year!! 👍🏻 7y

rockpools Don't be discouraged- it's not just the numbers! I think it's great to be thinking now about what you actually want to read more of next year though. Also, which have you enjoyed most/been the most surprised by this year? 7y

alisahar @RachelO such a good question! This book was fantastic. Also loved Killers of the Flower Moon and My Life In France by Julia Child.

Life's Work: A Moral Argument for Choice

See All 7 Comments

alisahar @Caroline2 yeah! What are you thinking of reading? 7y

rockpools @alisahar Interesting! And I've heard such good things about Killers of the Flower Moon. I'm hoping to read more books in translation next year; still debating whether to join any challenges. 7y

Caroline2 I want to read all of Austen's books and I want to tackle the Russians!! 💪🏻 Tolstoy, Gogol, Dostoyevsky, Pasternak etc! I have all their books on my shelves and I've still not read them yet!! 🙄 I also want to read all of Hilary's books too! 👍🏻 7y

alisahar @Caroline2 excellent! I‘ve read some of those but I love rereading classics after years. 7y

Om en faktabok kan vara feelgood, så är denna bok just detta. Läst den när du tappar tron på mänskligheten. Norberg tar läsaren genom århundraden med en analys hur förhållandena som mat, miljö, sanitet, fattigdom och liknande har ändrats. Vi har faktiskt väldigt lite att klaga på...
