Mount TBR 2014: Mt. Vancouver


Because I’m an idiot and buy more books than I read, as far as I know. I tend to just buy books I want to read instead of picking books off my shelves. I also get given books, so there are a lot of books. I worry I’m hoarding, not seriously, but a little. In an attempt to change the insanity, or at least make myself feel less bad about myself I have decided to participate in the Mount TBR challenge hosted by My Reader’s Block. The aim of Mount TBR is to knock books off your TBR and read your own books.

There are different levels of challenge.

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 pile/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

I’m attempting to read 70 books this year, so I thought I’d try to climb Mount Vancouver, which means that I would have to take about half of the books I read this year from books I already own. I haven’t really made a decision on which books, because I can’t plan that far ahead. I’m an idiot. I’ll keep an update going on how I’m doing in my rewind posts every month.
