2018 Mount TBR Reading Challenge


Mount TBR is hosted by Roof Beam Reader.


The Challenge:  

Read as many books from your TBR!

The Rules

This challenge will run from January 1 to December 31, 2018. 

  • Choose a level (peak) to conquer. Once you choose your challenge level, you are locked in for at least that many books.
  • If you find that you’re on a mountain-climbing roll and want to tackle a taller mountain, then you are certainly welcome to upgrade.
  • You can submit your list in advance.
  • Books must be owned prior to January 1, 2018. No library books.
    • RESTRICTION: Rereads only count if you didn’t own the book when you first read it AND you bought it pre-January 1, 2018.
    • ASSIST: You can count a “currently reading” book that you began reading prior to January 1, granted that you are 50% into the book by the time January 1, 2018 hits.
    • ASSIST: You can count DNF books based on your own standards for DNFing.
  • There are quarterly check-ins and prizes!
