Kilimanjaro: The Trekking Guide to Africa's Highest Mountain | Henry Stedman

At the beginning of 2017 I knew #MountTBR was for me. It‘s a challenge to read what you own. I have tons of unread books at home. Soooo ... this was my effort to be more disciplined. I committed to a goal of 24 books, which was Mount Blanc. Reached it in March. Now I‘ve almost gotten to the next goal—Mt. Kilimanjaro, 60 books. With 17 more days to go, I have just three books to read. Here‘s what I picked. Can I do it?

Jas16 Absolutely! You got this. 7y

TricksyTails You can do it!! 🙌🙌🙌 7y

Aloisi_tribe What a great idea! I'm going to make this my resolution for 2018. I have so many books that I don't read, I just keep adding more. 7y

Melissa_J You can do it! 7y

KathyWheeler I loved Alan Cummings‘s memoir. It‘s a quick read too. (edited) 7y

dariazeoli Yes, you can! I enjoyed the Didion & Cumming books! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Aloisi_tribe Here‘s a link to the challenge: https://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2017/10/mount-tbr-2018-sign-up.html - I also think there‘s a Goodreads group. 7y

Ms_T We‘re all rooting for you! 🙌🏻📚 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I aimed for Mt Ararat (48 Books), I need to update my list, but I know I‘m not there yet.... the month isn‘t over yet though! And I‘ll definitely be joining again next year too! 7y

WanderingBookaneer You can do it! 7y

readordierachel I believe in you! 7y

JSW Just in time for your #secretsanta box and more TBR!! 7y

Eggs 💕💕the year of magical thinking 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Jas16 @TricksyTails @Melissa_J @dariazeoli @Ms_T @WanderingBookaneer @ReadOrDieRachel Thanks for your faith in me! Now I need to hide out from all the holiday stuff and get this done! 🤪 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @KathyWheeler I‘ve been listening on audio and enjoying it so far. Okay, his voice is yummy, but the story is sad. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @dariazeoli @Eggs This will be my first Didion, so I‘m excited to read her. Finally. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @JSW It‘s only six more days!! But #MountTBR Rules say I can‘t use any books received or purchased this year towards my count. Must be on my shelf as of Jan 1, 2017. Still, I‘ll use the SSGP books for my 2018 count!! 7y

Eggs @BarbaraTheBibliophage I would read anything she wrote! Magical Thinking was especially poignant for me; I read it after my dear husband died 😔 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Eggs I can imagine it would be. Although I can‘t truly imagine that kind of loss. I‘m so sorry you didn‘t get more time together. 💕💕 7y

Eggs @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks for your kind words. I am grateful to have had the time we had. Hard for the children however but they have grown up strong 7y

hes7 Good luck! You can do it! 7y

KathyWheeler @BarbaraTheBibliophage The story is definitely sad. I read it instead of listening to it but I bet the audio is really good. 7y

DivineDiana I‘m cheering for you! 👏🏻🤛🏻👍🏻 7y

Cinfhen Yes you can!!!!! Way to go😍😍😍 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @DivineDiana @Cinfhen Thanks #PhillyLittens! I‘m about halfway through these three. I think I can, I think I can! 7y

Africa: A Biography of the Continent | John Reader

Decided to take one of my bucket list items - climbing Mount Kilimanjaro- and turn it into a goal for my 45th birthday (in three years). Figured that should be enough time to plan, save, and get in shape- would love any book reqs to get me in the spirit of things - anything about the mountain, Tanzania, or Africa in general! 😊 #Africa #kilimanjaro

The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories

BibliOphelia Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen. Some people are 'meh' on the book; if that's you, you'll still find the movie quite evocative. 8y

Mel @erzascarletbookgasm I have that on my TBR for awhile now, will have to push that one up now :) 8y

Mel @BibliOphelia I actually saw the movie first and then read the book quite awhile later - liked them both :) 8y
