It’s that time of year when people are thinking about next year’s reading challenges. I’m aiming to cut back on challenges, so I’ll not be taking part in many. But I’ll definitely be doing this one.
It’s the Mount TBR Challenge 2016 hosted by Bev at My Reader’s Block. It’s the most simple challenge ‘“ read your own books ‘“ that is, books you’ve owned prior to January 1, 2016. No library books. (See this post for more information.) I don’t know exactly how many TBRs (under this definition) that I have – it’s a lot. And actually I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. It means I’ve always got a choice of books to read and I enjoy browsing my own shelves.
My target for 2016 is to read as many of my own books as I can, which realistically could be 36 books as I like to read library books and newly acquired books (new or used) as well.
These are the challenge levels:
Pike’s Peak: Read 12 books from your TBR pile/s
Mount Blanc: Read 24 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Vancouver: Read 36 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Ararat: Read 48 books from your TBR piles/s
Mt. Kilimanjaro: Read 60 books from your TBR pile/s
El Toro: Read 75 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Everest: Read 100 books from your TBR pile/s
Mount Olympus (Mars): Read 150+ books from your TBR pile/s

Good luck with this challenge again next year. I am relatively good at reading books from my own TBR, so I haven’t considered taking part in this before. However I could do with some help resisting the urge to request so many galleys!

I wish you well with this challenge, Margaret. It’s great that you’re taking it on. I think my own TBR could use some attention like that, truth be told…

This reminded me that I need to get my post up. Good luck with this for 2016, Margaret.
