Progress Report | Mark Clifton, Alex Apostolides

Ok, everyone! How are you doing on #MountTBR for the #MountTBRchallenge ?? It‘s been just about a month - 4 weeks anyway. 😳 Amazing how fast time flies! Favorite book “shopped from your own shelves?” Have you been able to resist those shiny new books?

DivaDiane My own progress has been ok, but I have little to show for it. I just finished Anne of Avonlea, the second of my goal of 40. But I‘m very close to finishing a third and a fourth isn‘t far beyond that. My fave is actually the middle grade “Lucy Sky” (Corby Flood in English). I loved Anne of Avonlea but it wasn‘t as amazing as AoGG. (edited) 7y
mrp27 Nearly 4 books read is not bad! So far I've done better than expected. I've read two books from my pile and I've only purchased one book this month and that was with Christmas. 7y
Smarkies I have completed 3. And bought 1. Onto my 4th book. Hopefully that will be done soon. 😁 7y

Chrissyreadit I am working on it. Finishing the third book in The 100- when I finish the fourth I will feel accomplished. I have been good about not buying books for me, but bought YA books for my kids- are they now allowed to be part of my #mounttbr? #loopholes ? 7y
Julsmarshall I‘ve read 10 and haven‘t bought any! And I have gift cards 😄 I‘m going to try to save those for my birthday in March. 7y
Melissa_J Despite my good intentions, most of the books I‘ve read so far this year have been recent acquisitions 😬 7y
Julsmarshall @Chrissyreadit I would think gifts for others wouldn‘t count 😄 7y
MelissaS I read 2 that were on my #mounttbr for several years!! In total, I‘ve read 6 books this year 😀📚📚. I have not purchased anything new but did borrow from the library. This is a fun challenge! 7y
Samplergal I‘ve read four from my mountain. Only bought one new.... that‘s good, right? 7y
Ash.on.the.line I‘ve read about 16! I have bought a couple used books but I have slowed down a lot! 😁 I feel good so far! 7y
eanderson So far I‘ve read 6 books on my TBR and only added 4 (botm, 1 gift card purchase, and PageHabit). I could do better next month but pretty happy that I haven‘t spent all my gift cards yet! 7y
Pamwurtzler I‘m working on book 12, and have probably added 3. 😬 7y
TheBookAddict 😂 I‘m currently reading 4 books, I finished 3 audiobooks, and I‘ve started another audiobook and they are all from my TBR. I have only preordered a limited edition omnibus Motor Girl comic book, so I‘ve been very good. I think the best ones so far are The Girl Who Drank the Moon (audio) and Sing, Unburied, Sing (physical book). 7y
Birdsong28 I am currently reading book number 4 on the list. 📚📖 7y
Linsy I haven‘t done perfectly on the book-buying front, but I did find some gems on my shelves! I finished 6 books from my shelves. I just read The Book of Speculation. I had completely forgotten why I bought on sale a year ago. Amazing!!! (edited) 7y
SleepyDragon I've read 2 books on my list, and am about halfway through another and a third of the way through a fourth. I may buy a book this week, but it's on my tbr and not available from the library, so I'm not counting it. I'm off to a good start. My goal is 10-18 books. 7y
ApoptyGina69 I‘m 2/3 done with Shantaram which will be my favorite for the month. I bought it late last year. Otherwise, I have read 10 books so far, all from my own shelves! I did buy a couple (well, 3-on sale!!) books last week when I was shopping for my Cupid exchange person. 7y
DivaDiane @Chrissyreadit I suppose if the books you bought for your kids end up languishing unread, the. They could count toward your TBR, but if you intend on reading them, they also count against it!!! #conundrum 7y
Chrissyreadit @DivaDiane hmmm...how long to count for languishing?😎 (edited) 7y
DivaDiane Well, officially, I said longer than a month. That‘s mostly to accommodate library books though. But really, it‘s up to you! 🤪 @Chrissyreadit (edited) 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes Well, I read 4 books that ended up on my shelves in 2017 or before...(can't remember if any were gifted in December, it's a possibility), and I'm in the middle of reading The Luminaries which I've owned for a few years, but that's gonna take me a while longer to finish. Lots of books from my shelves tagged for February tho! 7y
ju.ca.no I‘ve read two books for #mountTBR but I‘ve also bought two🙈 better luck next month💪🏼 7y
DivaDiane @Natasha.C.Barnes 👍🏻 7y
DivaDiane @ju.ca.no At least it‘s a draw!! 7y
ju.ca.no @DivaDiane yep, that‘s what I thought too! 7y

So my #bookishresolution was to not buy any books until I put at least a dent in my TBR. So much for resolutions! I ordered 8 books today. 😱 But in my defense, 2 are #BOTM & the others fit either micropress or #diversebooks prompts for various challenges. This is how it starts...the mind games I play with myself to justify breaking my resolution on Day 1. ☺️😝

DrexEdit I think it's an excellent rationalization. Just amend your resolution to "no new books except those needed to fill challenges." ? 8y
Theresa @DrexEdit I like the way you think! When I want to buy a book I can just find a new challenge it'll fit into! 😆 8y
DrexEdit @Theresa 👍💜😁 8y
