Climb That Mountain: Learn, heal & grow. Get on track & stay on. | Dee Shemma

I apologize for it being soooo long since I posted about #MountTBR and our challenge! I‘ve been very busy with life, but it was more because I was afraid to post and miss a certain number of Litfluence for a giveaway! 🤪Silly I know but there you have it! You are all invited to try for my #2x2giveaway till Oct 3.

How‘re you doing with our #MountTBR challenge? Gaining on your declared goal? How many in Sept. were from your TBR? Post anew or here.

ju.ca.no 5 MTBR in September, which means I‘ve surpassed by initial goal and am now aiming for Mount Kilimanjaro (60books)💪🏼💪🏼 6y

Mdargusch I‘ve only read 28 from my Mt. TBR so far this year and I only read 1 in September! Ugh! I need to step up my game! 6y

julesG Managed 11 books off #MountTBR in September and have surpassed El Toro - 80 books. Am now heading straight towards 100 books read. 6y

mrp27 Can't believe I did it but buddy reads and reading challenges helped me achieve my goal, I'm 12/12! 6y

DivaDiane I‘ve only managed 39 books from my Mount TBR of 48 books total this year. I barely managed one whole book in September, although I‘m working on 3 big books. 6y

DivaDiane @ju.ca.no well done!! Onward! 6y

DivaDiane @Mdargusch That‘s not bad! Better than none, I say. I‘m with you though. September was a hard month for me with reading. 6y

DivaDiane @julesG That‘s amazing! Great job! 👍🏻 6y

DivaDiane @mrp27 woot!! 6y

Birdsong28 I have 3.5 books left as I have had some ARC'S from #Readersfirst that have taken priority and have left half of the current book I am reading on my #mounttbrchallenge. 📚📖 6y

SleepyDragon I met my goal of 18/18, and now I'm padding it with reading additional books from my TBR without feeling guilty when I read something that isn't. 😊👍💙 6y

DivaDiane @Birdsong28 Not bad! You‘ll manage that! 6y

DivaDiane @NeesyBeth Perfect! 6y

Lindy Congratulations! My favourite book with a musical element is

All My Puny Sorrows

ju.ca.no Ooh great catch! Congratulations😊🎉🎉 I‘m not sure if it counts as musical element- but the Comic Skin&earth by Lights is closely linked to her new record- the lyrics are part of the comic, the music videos show scenes to it etc- each chapter has one song (plus QR code so you can listen to it while reading)

Skin and Earth HC

DivaDiane @ju.ca.no Oh that sounds really interesting! 6y

DivaDiane @Lindy Thank you for the recommendation! And thank you for entering. 6y

ju.ca.no @DivaDiane it is something I‘ve never come across before, a very unique interaction of music and comic 😍 6y

meghathecloud Congratulations! That's a cool number. I would recommend

The Story of the Trapp Family Singers

DivaDiane @StoriesandCode I‘ve always meant to read that book! Thanks for the rec and also for entering! 6y

Between Heaven and the Real World: My Story | Ken Abraham, Steven Curtis Chapman

The tagged book won out as my recommendation because of the two I was debating, this one had a picture! Lol!!

I would also recommend Face The Music by Paul Stanley of KISS.

Congratulations on the milestone!!!

Love and Gravity: A Novel | Samantha Sotto

This book has to do with music, and time travel, if I remeber correctly, it's been awhile since I read it. Thank you so much for the #giveaway @CoffeeNBooks #2x2giveaway
