Quick book journal update on my attempt to scale #mountbr in 2022! I‘m on a quite strict book buying ban for another 45 days and trying to reduce my owned tbr mountain by 100 books in 2022. Here‘s where we are so far!

Reading through books I‘ve bought but failed to read helps me feel like I‘m earning back wasted money which is a nice feeling.

Hooked_on_books Good luck with your book reduction! It‘s a path I‘ve been trying to travel for years, and I finally found a method that works for me about 3 years ago. My goal was to reduce by 100 or more each year, but I haven‘t managed to get there. I have managed to reduce by over 50 for the past two years, so I call that a win! 3y

Another from my Kindle #mountbr I read last night. Quick read. That was sappy sweet and mostly about food.

#behindthewheel reminded me of this book that I need to read. Castledown was a favorite, but this third book came out so many years later that I was not able to read without rereading the first two and they were put back onto #mountbr where they may have turned into diamonds by the crushing weight above them. #maymoviemagic

mabell Love that! I‘m sure I have some diamonds now as well. 😂😂 6y
gradcat Love your humor! 😂 6y
RohitSawant What @mabell said! 🤣 6y
Chrys I think we all have some diamonds in our stacks lol 💎 6y
Centique I love the idea that they‘re turning to diamonds 😂😂 6y

Quiet rainy Saturday. 1st part I wasn't sure what was going on. Checked Goodreads reviews and saw that it was 3 Novellas that came together in the end. Once I started 2nd part I was hooked. Excepting getting up for more tea, I finished book in one 'sitting'. Few unanswered questions at the end but that went with not knowing all about people who disappeared in WW2. 📚 #springstacks #lazybookday #mountbr #covercaughtmyeye #literarygardens

Here is my #mounTBR (well my physical books anyway). Clearly my wife likes to take me to thrift stores. I hardly ever buy a new book and almost never spend over a couple of dollars on any one book. Newly published I get from audible and the library. Do you have book shopping habits? #readon #unread #pileobooks

Dolly My book habits are very boring as I have almost zero book budget. I rely on Overdrive ebooks & my local library & inter library loan. IF I buy it's a used book sale. It works for me. I'm thankful for libraries! 7y
Copwithabook @Dolly my library also uses Overdrive. I apparently need to utilize my library more ☺️ 7y

Wohoo! I've somehow managed to climb Mt.Ararat for the #mountbr challenge. Finished the 48th book this morning. Now to convince myself that this does not mean I should go for Everest... (No I didn't actually climb the mountain though I would like to do so one day when I can put down my books long enough 😅)

Graciouswarriorprincess Congratulations!! 7y
LeahBergen Awesome!! 7y
BooksForEmpathy Wow!!!!! How do you train for this?? 7y

BooksAtNight @BooksForEmpathy I hope you didn't think I physically climbed the mountain! 😬 That would be way beyond my skills... Though it is on my bucket list. 7y
BooksForEmpathy Hahahaha!! @BooksAtNight I totally did and I was impressed! Still, impressive amount of books, too! 7y
BooksAtNight @BooksForEmpathy I would be impressed with myself too! 7y

Fellow Littens have said this was too slow for them, and I can't disagree. But I decided to persist despite the heroines being impossibly naive. I put this in the mystery, not thriller category. 2.5 stars.

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Oh well. Thanks for letting us know!! 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled You're welcome. I wish I'd liked it more, although I didn't hate it. Not much of an endorsement, huh? 😜 8y
Texreader Thanks for letting us know! At 2.5 I think it will remain a DNF. Yea I forgot the MC's naïveté. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Texreader I wouldn't talk you out of a DNF. It worked for me this weekend, but life's too short when books aren't doing it for you! 7y

First book finished in 2017! I enjoyed it mostly because of twists at the end I wasn't expecting. I literally listened to the last third in two days time, without ever getting in my car. At the end I put other pressing things off to finish. But it's a slow burn ...
