My TBR on GR is officially over 800 and I'm going to dedicate my 2019 to trying to whittle it down to a more reasonable size. I've already spent a few hours organizing my audio book ho..."

Hi, Hannah! Welcome to the Virtual Climb!

Welcome! Please know that you don't have to have a TBR list all sorted out. You can add to this list as you go. :-)

And welcome to the Virtual mountain climb as well! Good luck with both climbs.

Okay--I just discovered that my library actually has The Ascent of Rum Doodle by W. E. Bowman. I think this may have to be my first Virtual Mount TBR read of 2019. :-D

Thanks for joining me on Rum Doodle! Good luck with your 2019 climb.

Oh, this is absolutely wonderful. The best sign-up yet!

Welcome to the challenge and good luck climbing up to the Grinch's lair.

I had not planned for any of the books we own to count here. I'm not trying to cover all the books we own with my challenges--Mount TBR was developed specifically for people like me who accumulate far more books than they read. And I developed this one specifically for folks who kept wanting to know why books you didn't own (from the library, borrowed from a friend, whatever) couldn't count. There used to be more Library and "Wish List" type challenges out there, but I've kept an eye out this year and didn't really see any. So, I thought I'd start one up.

And as far as Virtual TBR dates go--I'm not setting a limit in this challenge on when you add the book to your "I want to read this list." If you see a book that looks good after January first that you just have to check out of the library, then go for it.

*I've updated the rules above.

LOL...love your take on the Rum Doodle. :-)

I'm sure I'll probably wind up on Mount Crumpit--that's about where I'm at with this year's off-my-owned-TBR reading....

Thanks for joining me on this virtual trek, Méliane!

Good luck with your climb in Narnia!

Thanks for joining me on the Holodeck!
