Didn't have a lot of time for reading this month, so I just took it easy and enjoyed a slower than normal pace. Didn't have a chance to do stats till today, either. Holidays make for a busy time.

Read 2 books:
✔Dust Tracks on the Road
✔National Parks and the Woman's Voice #tbrsupplemental, #readharder #nature
Both nonfiction
#readharder2018: 23/24 - Almost there!
#MtTBRChallenge: 25/18

Not a casual read, I recommend this academic work for anyone with a serious interest in the NPS and Women's Equality.

A messed up guy remembers coming of age in really messed up company. Lots of sex, drinking, and scandalous behavior, as well as mental illness, depression, and suicide.

#MtTBRChallenge complete! I've reached my goal of reading these 18 books, with the milestone mini goals along the way, with months to spare. In addition, I have also read a couple books from my #TBRsupplemental, which is basically just books I randomly pick from my shelves and TBR piles around the house. So, I'm actually at 20/18. Now I just have to choose a cool reward to treat myself with.

wanderinglynn Congrats! 🎉👏🏻🎉👏🏻 6y
SleepyDragon @wanderinglynn Thanks! I'm excited that I'm finding more time to read than I thought I would. I've been averaging 3 month, which feels like a miracle. 6y

Finishing The Nix by Nathan Hill put me at 95% of my #MtTBRChallenge goal of the 18 books on my primary #TBR list. Whoo hoo! Time for some ice cream! 🍦

I'm so far ahead of schedule that I have also read two books off my #tbrsupplemental stack.

The tagged book is the only title left on my primary list, and third on my #MakeMeReadIt challenge August TBR list. Fourth on the list is #tbrsupplemental. The first two aren't TBR, but are #readharder.

It‘s been a while since I posted a check in, but we‘ve just closed out 6 months of the #MountTBRchallenge, June just ended AND it‘s Monday, so I thought it was due!

How‘s the hewing of #MountTBR going?!?

I‘ve read 35/70 for my Goodreads challenge, 30 of which were TBRs in the loosest sense (at least a month “old” or having a deadline (bookclub or library due date). Only 16 in the strictest sense (pre-2018).

How about you? Comment or repost!

JuliaTheBookNerd I‘ve completed 63/200 on my #MountOlympus #MountTBR 😬 6y
DivaDiane Ruh roh!! Not quite halfway! You can do it! Choose the slim volumes! 6y
Ash.on.the.line I‘ve around 150/200 so it‘s going well! I have slowed down some. Hopefully I get back at it! 6y

Birdsong28 I've completed my Goodreads challenge (40 books) 🎉🎊. I'm on my 11/20 for my #mounttbrchallenge 📚📖 6y
Pamwurtzler I‘m reading 34/too many to count for #MountTBRChallenge. I‘ve slowed down . . . 6y
Mdargusch I‘ve read 23 so far out of a book case full. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 6y

Bookzombie I have read 12 out of 24 and I have a couple in progress. 6y
DivaDiane @Bookzombie That‘s great! Right on target! 6y
mrp27 8/12, way better than I thought I would be doing! 6y
DivaDiane @mrp27 Woot! I bet you are discovering you had good taste when you bought the books languishing on your shelves! 6y
SleepyDragon I've read 16/18 of my #MtTBRChallenge goal, and am close to finishing #17. I've done 13/24 prompts on the #readharder2018 challenge after discovering that I was accidentally completing it anyway. Since I'm nearly done with my main #TBR list, I started pulling from my #tbrsupplemental. Not too shabby for someone who has to read in 5-10 minute bursts throughout the day.😊 6y
DivaDiane Way to go!! 6y
GlassAsDiamonds Complete disaster!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Nothing I read this month was actually on my TBR 6y
DivaDiane @GlassAsDiamonds Ah, well. It‘s a new month. Just pick yourself up and let the next one you start be a TBR! Good luck! 6y
quirkyreader I just finished Number 84. 6y
