Scale Your TBR Mountain ChallengeThe object of this year long challenge is to knock off as many books as you can from your TBR. First you’ll pick a level, then each month you’ll read books that were put on your TBR during that same month of any previous year (except for 2017). There will also be alternate options just in case you run out of books from a certain month.
Please put when the book was added to your TBR, the date read and your rating when you post.
Alternate Options
• Read a book from the month before or the month after the month you’re working on.
• Read the oldest book on your TBR
• Finish (or get caught up on) a series (this is an exception to the nothing from 2017 rule)
• Knock out all of (or as many as you can) of the books by a certain author on your TBR
• Read a book that has a title that starts with the same letter of the month you’re working on
• Read a book that has an author with a last name that starts with the same letter of the month you’re working on
• Read a book that has the letters of the month you’re working on in the title (does not have to be in consecutive order)
• Read a book that was published in the month you’re working on

So..... FINALLY this month I'd actually read about 4 of the 6 I aimed for, then on April 12th my challenge spreadsheet with two years' worth of challenges and about 40 tabs on it crapped the bed. I recovered one from about a month earlier and reconstructed, but April for this challenge? No way was I trying to reconstruct THAT list of potentials! It had more than a hundred books on it! ARRGH! So. in for May! My added in may list has 160+ titles on it: we'll see how many i get.
Congrats to everyone who knocked out April!
Finished this with my goal of 3+ a month. Thanks for putting challenge together.
