Didn't have a lot of time for reading this month, so I just took it easy and enjoyed a slower than normal pace. Didn't have a chance to do stats till today, either. Holidays make for a busy time.
Read 2 books:
✔Dust Tracks on the Road
✔National Parks and the Woman's Voice #tbrsupplemental, #readharder #nature
Both nonfiction

Not a casual read, I recommend this academic work for anyone with a serious interest in the NPS and Women's Equality.

Captivating and rather disturbing. Interesting blend of fact and fiction.

A messed up guy remembers coming of age in really messed up company. Lots of sex, drinking, and scandalous behavior, as well as mental illness, depression, and suicide.

Time for Keats!
#MtTBRChallenge complete! I've reached my goal of reading these 18 books, with the milestone mini goals along the way, with months to spare. In addition, I have also read a couple books from my #TBRsupplemental, which is basically just books I randomly pick from my shelves and TBR piles around the house. So, I'm actually at 20/18. Now I just have to choose a cool reward to treat myself with.

Finishing The Nix by Nathan Hill put me at 95% of my #MtTBRChallenge goal of the 18 books on my primary #TBR list. Whoo hoo! Time for some ice cream! 🍦
I'm so far ahead of schedule that I have also read two books off my #tbrsupplemental stack.
The tagged book is the only title left on my primary list, and third on my #MakeMeReadIt challenge August TBR list. Fourth on the list is #tbrsupplemental. The first two aren't TBR, but are #readharder.

#ReadHarder2018: 13/24 complete
It‘s been a while since I posted a check in, but we‘ve just closed out 6 months of the #MountTBRchallenge, June just ended AND it‘s Monday, so I thought it was due!
How‘s the hewing of #MountTBR going?!?
I‘ve read 35/70 for my Goodreads challenge, 30 of which were TBRs in the loosest sense (at least a month “old” or having a deadline (bookclub or library due date). Only 16 in the strictest sense (pre-2018).
How about you? Comment or repost!
