I always struggle with my #MountTBR challenge, new releases, great things I happen to see strolling the library, great group reads come up...meanwhile my own books wait.
So this year I got practical & picked a smaller peak, just to get some of mine read while still reading all that other stuff. Then COVID happened & no strolling through the library or bookstores, and will you look at that, I summited my mountain.
Note to self: Stay home more😂

BarbaraTheBibliophage Go you!! I have 51 of my own books read this year. I‘ll have to check where that puts me with the peaks! 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I picked Mont Blanc, which is 24, because usually I‘m struggling around this time of the year to get my challenges going and read my own books which rarely seem to fit my other challenges. But this year I think we‘ve all managed to read more of our own books...one benefit of being home more (and being poorer) in 2020 I guess. 😂 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage You have passed Mt Ararat (48) and are on your way to Kilimanjaro (60). I still have it open on my other screen 😉 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thanks—funny, I just went to the GR group and looked (even though I didn‘t join the group). 🤪 I‘ve made Kilimanjaro before. Wonder if I‘ll make the next peak ...? 🧐 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I am definitely trying to read more of my own this year. But I think I‘ve bought plenty even still. Especially back in the spring, so many practically new ebooks were on sale. 4y
Caroline2 Great photo!! Unfortunately I found online book shopping was my main hobby during lockdown! 🤦♀️ why do I do this to myself....oh wait there‘s the amazon delivery guy!!!! 😀 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I made Kilimanjaro 2 years ago....but last year I picked Ararat and didn‘t make it, one reason why I picked a smaller mountain this year. 😂 🧗♀️ 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Caroline2 Yes and like @BarbaratheBibliophage mentioned, a lot of great kindle sales. 📚 📚 📚 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Caroline2 Haha! Yes, and I wanted to support some local smaller book shops too! 4y
