Bev’s comments from the Mount TBR Challenge 2024 group.

102. Heberden's Seat by Douglas Clark [on TBR since 12/5/15]

Thank you, everyone!

And for those who enjoy the Virtual Mount TBR Challenge as well: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

First, an apology from your host. This year has been an incredibly difficult one and I have not made the rounds among the climbers as I had in the past. I've always tried to visit everyone at least once and I didn't make it. I just want you all to know that I love that you enjoy this challenge and carry on with your climbs even if your host wanders off the mountain slopes and seems to forget you. Thank you for joining me this year and thank you to all who have visited other climbers and cheered them on.

It's hard to believe that it's time to start thinking about next year's challenges. But 2025 reading challenges have started popping up, so I decided to get the next versions of my TBR challenges up and running. I'm hoping to find more time to visit my fellow climber's in the new year. Hope to see you on the slopes!

Thanks, Pamela!

And a flag on top of Everest! Let's party!

Oh...and I'm gonna pack my rocket ship and head to Mars. I don't think I'll make it to the top...but let's see how close I get. Once upon a time I could have read 25 books per month and got there....

Alexis: I did not mean to gaslight you and I'm sorry for making you feel that I am. I am truly not understanding what you are referring to. You say I can "easily find all the reviews in the first page of the September post." Whose/What post? Could you possibly give me a link to follow because I honestly don't know what you mean.

I've gone back to the first few digests of posts from September and I'm not seeing any references to tarot cards or oracle card decks.

91. Seven Keys to Baldpate by Earl Derr Biggers [on TBR since 10/9/15]

Alexis wrote: "There are some reviews, linked in September, about tarot and oracle card decks. It is a category allowed for the challenge?"

Alexis: I am not sure what you are referring to. There are no categories tied to the Mount TBR Challenge. It's all about how many books you read from your owned TBR stacks.

90. Death in a Pheasant's Eye by James Fraser [on TBR since 6/1/19]
