Ok all you lovely peeps joining me me on the #mounttbrchallenge! We‘ve just completed our first full week of the challenge! How are you doing? How many books have you read. Were they good? How do you like “shopping” your own shelves?
Me, I‘ve only managed to finish one book and that is the one I‘ve been reading to my son.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I joined MountTBR on Goodreads, is this similar? 7y
rubyslippersreads Does it count that I read a Kindle Unlimited book so I can cancel my free trial? 😄 7y

Eggs I've read 8 of purchased tbrs and some on kindle purchased after January 1 🙄🤔😳!! 7y
Lindy I brought along a couple of my TBR books with me on holidays and have just started the first. Early days, but I‘m wondering why I waited years to start![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
The Colony Of Unrequited Dreams 7y
The Colony Of Unrequited DreamsGlassAsDiamonds One!!!!!!! (But it‘s Kohinoor so I‘m counting it as 753 million...or an albatross... or the white whale rendered into a matte black book to taunt me with whispers of promises to read it... I‘ll stop now, I think I‘m slightly giddy with relief! 😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂!). One, one down, many but lovely books to go. 😊😊😊 7y
BookKenz Zero!! But I've already read three books this year... See this is my problem, must read the books I own! 🙈 (edited) 7y
AnneCecilie I haven't finished a book jet. I'm reading 3, and am not sure if I can count anyone of them for mount tbr. One is started in 2017 and the other 2 were bought for buddy reads now in January. I'll come back stronger 😀 7y
Pamwurtzler I‘ve done 3, and then got distracted with library books! Back to #MountTBRChallenge as soon as I‘m done with the current one! 7y
Birdsong28 Have finished my first book onto my second. Not had much time as have been working quite a bit but it's helping me keep focused on what I will be reading next as this is my issue as sometimes I am not sure of what I feel like reading and end up reading books I have just bought. 📚📖 7y
Valink I just joined today, so when I get home from work I plan on browsing my piles of books and setting a goal for myself of which/how many of my already owned books to read this year. Do books that I started a year or two ago then abandoned count if I finish them this year? I have a pile of those too! 😂😂 7y
LeahBergen I‘m currently reading The Luminaries which has been on my TBR for 4 years .... so I‘m doing pretty well! 😂😂 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes Hahaha I've finished 2 books and I owned neither of them. But I AM in the middle of 2 that I own! One of them is also The Luminaries, so that's gonna take A WHILE. 😂 7y
DivaDiane @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes, but they require the book to have been purchased before 2018. At this point in our game, yes, but we are also for library books, school textbooks, anything that‘s been waiting at least a month, but the longer it‘s been languishing the better! 7y
DivaDiane @rubyslippersreads If it‘s been on your kindle for longer than a month, yes. 7y
DivaDiane @Eggs That‘s fine! We don‘t require you to read ONLY TBRs, but if you need some rigor you could stipulate that you may read/purchase one new book for every 2 (or whatever you think will work for you) read from your TBR Pile. 7y
DivaDiane @Lindy Wonderful! I can‘t tell you many books shopped from my own shelves about which I‘ve asked myself the same question!! 7y
DivaDiane @GlassAsDiamonds 😂😂😂😂Well done! 7y
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I forgot to count that one! 😊 7y
DivaDiane @Kenziejo Maybe you could also benefit from stricter rules: starting now, you could reward yourself with a new book for every 2 read that you already own. What do you think? 7y
DivaDiane @AnneCecilie The one started in 2017, sure, if you started it before December, I‘d say. The others, technically, no. But no worries! 7y
DivaDiane @Pamwurtzler Library books count, sort of because they are on a deadline. Especially, if you‘ve had to renew them because they‘ve gone unread. Also, if they‘ve been on a Want-to-read list for a long time, they can count. It‘ll leave it up to you how lenient you want to allow yourself to be. 7y
DivaDiane @Birdsong28 That‘s a good start, though! 7y
DivaDiane @Valink They absolutely count! 7y
DivaDiane @LeahBergen Well done!! 7y
DivaDiane @Natasha.C.Barnes Great job! 7y
AnneCecilie @DivaDiane no, started in December,but there's still 11,5 months left. Plenty of time to tackle the mountain of tbr 😀 7y
julesG Finished two, started three. I am doing fine. I actually love shopping my kindle, 700+ books that all sound interesting. 😉 7y
Lcsmcat Finished 2, one great, one horrible and am currently reading 2 more from my TBR. 7y
Peddler410 I‘ve read two and I‘m on my third. Super glad to have them done. Enjoyed both and the current read is going well! 7y
DGRachel Two out of the three books I‘ve finished count for Mount TBR and two of the three I‘m currently reading count as well. I‘m rather pleased with myself. 😊 7y
Pamwurtzler @DivaDiane thanks! I think I‘m just going to count books I already own for this one -my goal is to read down what‘s on my kindle! I‘m thinking this will be interesting. 7y
drokka I've listened to three, read one (but it's a #TheCanadianYour book and one I had never heard of). Unless another book your book shows up today, I'll be starting my first one for this challenge tonight. 7y
Andrew65 Only read one from my #MountTBRChallenge, but am aiming to get to one book a week from this challenge.Elegy for Eddie: A Maisie Dobbs Novel (edited) 7y
Elegy for Eddie: A Maisie Dobbs NovelVelvetfur Erm....haven't started it yet... I started the year by finishing off a book I'd been reading for months, and then I've started on one of my #litsypassport ones as I was really looking forward to that challenge. But I bought the book a few months ago, specifically for this challenge, so it kinda counts as one of my TBR pile...! 7y
DivaDiane @julesG That‘s awesome! Happy reading! 7y
DivaDiane @AnneCecilie Good attitude! 7y
DivaDiane @Lcsmcat woot! 7y
DivaDiane @Peddler410 Nice job! 7y
DivaDiane @DGRachel As well you should be! 7y
DivaDiane @Pamwurtzler Sounds good. I personally, also count only books I own. But some people need it also to get control of their library borrows! 😜 7y
DivaDiane @drokka Audio books count if they fit the criteria. My Audible queue is a mile long! 7y
DivaDiane @Andrew65 That‘s what I‘m hoping too, but more realistic would be 40 -45 for the year. (edited) 7y
DivaDiane @Velvetfur It totally counts! 7y
Velvetfur @DivaDiane Yay! 😀 Thanks 👍 7y
drokka Oh my gosh, I did 4 audiobooks and yes, the one I forgot about qualifies. I'd set the hold back in August. I have, I think 3 others that I'm still waiting on, but after that, I usually grab new releases 😁Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz Chickens 7y
Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz ChickensDivaDiane @drokka Ah, I see! 7y
Smarkies I am reading a Litsy postal book club one right now. But I have stopped myself from buying books.... 🤣🤣 7y
Pamwurtzler Hahaha I need to get hold of the library borrows too! One thing at a time!! 😂 7y
Laura317 @DivaDiane I‘m in the middle of a few books on my tbr. Hoping to finish one or two this week. #MountTBRChallenge 7y
Ash.on.the.line I‘ve finished one this last week! 🙋🏻♀️ working on two others. The chunksters slow me down a bit! 😬😅 7y
josie281 I‘ve been too busy closing out the calendar year so I haven‘t finished a book yet 😬 but I‘m listening to an audiobook I already own and reading Godsgrave which I preordered last October. So far so good! 7y
Amandajoy I‘ve been traveling so I haven‘t been able to finish any so far ☹️ 7y
Mdargusch I finished one book from my Mt. TBR. 🙋🏼♀️ 7y
BookishTrish One! 7y
DivaDiane @Smarkies Me too! Haha! 7y
DivaDiane @Pamwurtzler 😂 7y
DivaDiane @Amandajoy Oh, that‘s too bad! Do you have to drive? For me Travel means lots of time to read. I usually take trains or fly. But if I you have to drive you could try audiobooks. But that won‘t necessarily reduce your TBR 😩 7y
DivaDiane @Laura317 @Ash.on.the.line @josie281 @Mdargusch @BookishTrish You are doing well! Keep it up! 7y
quirkyreader As of now I have finished four. And I am working on five and six. 7y

PurpleyPumpkin So far, I‘ve finished one book. Given that I was on holiday last week, I thought I was going to be well ahead of the game! But sadly not. Still, I‘ll soldier on. Thanks for checking in! I appreciate the motivation. 😉 7y
DivaDiane @quirkyreader Wow! Great job! 7y
DivaDiane @PurpleyPumpkin My pleasure! I also thought I‘d be farther ahead, but oh well! 7y
Amandajoy I usually do audio books when driving or flying because I get sick if I read. Right now I‘m traveling for work/school stuff so it means I don‘t have a lot of down time to read. Hopefully it‘ll get better soon, but I‘m starting a new program so I may not get a lot of reading done in the next couple months. 7y
kspenmoll Just finished one; back at work now so my reading slows way down! Oops I take that back; It was a library book not TBR!!! So zero this week. (edited) 7y
DivaDiane @Amandajoy Hope so! 7y
DivaDiane @kspenmoll Oops! But if it‘s a library book you‘d renew at least once/had more than a month, then it counts! 7y
CareBear I‘d like to join too! This is my unofficial goal every year. 7y
kspenmoll @DivaDiane Now, I like your thinking!!!! 7y
DivaDiane @CareBear Yes, please join us!! If you have any questions, just ask! If you read through my posts on the subject you should get it. 😊 7y
