Bev’s comments from the Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2012 group.

Hurray! Congrats on completing the climb!

Another one down: Mysterious Incidents at Lone Rock.

Hi, I'm Bev... I have a challenge addiction. ;-)" I've already completed the first step (admitting the addiction): Reading Challenge Addict. :-)

Um....thirty-three. Not counting the Olympic Read-a-thon that I'm doing while the Olympics are on.

Oh...I don't plan to give up. I have it down for too many challenges, for one thing. And I do intend to read all of Austen (Will just have Mansfield Park left once this one's done). I will definitely soldier on.

Thanks for the encouragement, Jeannette. I hope to goodness I like this better than Emma....I would say I'd have to. :-) Will start up again one I finish the vintage mystery I'm working on.

I don't seem to be making much headway on this one.....

Wouldn't mind going back and rereading GWTW....but too many books on the docket (signed up for too many challenges.....on top of my own). But it does give me plenty of incentive to keep chipping away at my mountain range.

Always up for a nice bit of fictional detesting. :-)

I've just started....but I can say right now that I detest Mrs. John Dashwood...talking him out of truly honoring his promise to his father.

Maybe....depends on if anyone decides to join me....I'd be happy to slow down for some discussions. :-)

I am off and running on Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen. If you'd like to join me or talk Austen with me, I'd love to have you along.

Another one! Surprised by Joy (latest one on the list).

Hayes wrote: "Ahh, thanks... no wonder I don't remember. Hated that book."

So glad to see someone else with that opinion....we analyzed it to death in high school which didn't help.

Hayes wrote: "Book arrived, thank you, Bev."

Glad you got it! Enjoy!

Bev knocks out another dusty classic! O. Henry's The Four Million

Jo Ann wrote: "Do AudioBooks count???"

Yes, they do. Provided they meet the other criteria (owned by you pre-2012 and they're teetering on Mt. TBR).

If I didn't have so many unread books...you tempt me to pull this out and reread it. Love this book! Hope you enjoy it.

I have signed up for a Blogging Reading Event called Austen in August hosted by Adam at Roof Beam Reader (an awesome fellow blogger, by the way). Feel free to click and check it out if you're a blogger and would like to sign up too. But...my main point is...I plan to read Sense & Sensibility for the event. Would anyone have that on their TBR pile and like to join me in August?

Finished Compartment K, another vintage mystery.
