Natália’s Comments (group member since Oct 21, 2019)

Natália’s comments from the VIRTUAL Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2020 group.

1. My main goal was Mt. Crumpit again, and I've made it back in November, but I continued my climb 5 steps shy of the next peak by December 31. I read a couple more virtual TBR reads than originally planned (my actual Mount TBR suffered a bit because of it), but I'm happy with my reading this year.

2. My Life According to Books

My Ex is/was The Viscount Who Loved Me
My best friend is (a) Good Girl
Lately, at work (is) A Curse So Dark and Lonely
If I won the lottery, (I would have) The Grace Year
My fashion sense (will) Carve Th Mark
My next ride (is) An Offer From a Gentleman
The one I love is Truly Devious
If I ruled the world, everyone would (be) Uprooted
When I look out my window, I see Morrighan
The best things in life are Always and Forever,Lara Jean

I'm glad with my climb this year. It was more out of my own TBR than I had planned, but I started a Buddy Read with a couple of friends in preparation for the Bridgerton Netflix show, and none of the books we're originally on my TBR. But I enjoyed both my climbs and managed to surpass my GR goal once again!

Congrats on reaching the top of your mountain!

Glad to see your challenge is progressing ..."I did, I loved it! I connected right away with the characters and the writing and was anxious to know what would happen next. I think Kiersten really set up everything for the next installment, and I can't wait for book 2!

Thank you, hoping yours is progressing just as well!
