2022 Mount TBR Challenge

[WendyB]

This is the place to keep track of the books you read for the 2022 Mount TBR Challenge.
Read books you already own and make the valiant attempt to reduce those piles of books that threaten to topple over.

Good luck!

This challenge really does get me to read books that have been stuck in limbo for far too long. Sometimes a push is all that is needed to get to some great books.

0/100

1.
2..."

[Car]

I go for 60 books

[Elke]

I'll try one per month again, with focus on physical books. Here is my list:

1. Kälte
2. Das Leben nach Boo
3. Das Geheimnis des Bücherschranks
4. Was man von hier aus sehen kann
5. The Bog
6. Die Schuld

Just rearranged my shelves to have most TBR books together in one place, which makes choosing a new read much easier and it also feels a little like going to a small bookstore - and it's free! ;)
I used to participate in a challenge where others decide what you read, but found that sometimes I had to read a book I simply wasn't in the mood for at that time. Hope this works better.

After a good start, I lost track (or rather got distracted by too many new books) of my tbr pile *sigh* maybe next year ;)

[Ninetailedkat]

I did not do well on this one last year, so I am lowering it to 20 and I will see if I can under promise and over perform!! This time I am going to pre-list the books by January 4 that I have and want to get off my mountain. I will comment again once the book is read and put a copy of the cover at the bottom.


1.Project Hail Mary -DONE
2.I Am Legend and Other Stories - DONE
3.The Chosen - DONE
4.The Jackal
5.Neverwhere Ltd: The Author's Preferred Text - DONE
6. Iron Gold
7.The Glitter in the Green: In Search of

I’m trying for 25 to start off tbr and my overall goal is 75. With all the review books getting to back list is hard. This will help my netgalley cleanup!

I don't even have all the books I own on my TBR list! These are just books I would like to read at some point🤣

[Char]

Ok then.

TBR I own: 1746
TBR wish list: 1572

[Badseedgirl]

Char, you are my hero!
🤩 (a starstruck Badseedgirl)

[Sally]

Char, the fact that you know how many books you own is beyond impressive. I applaud you and want to come look at your bookshelves!

[Marie]

Well I hate to say it but I know how many I own too as I have bookshelves listed by genre and what I own on them tbr wise that are unread! You can view them as they are all listed on my profile:

I will try to do a genre breakdown here of owned kindle books not read:

Horror: 2,910
Crime/Crime Thrillers: 760
Fantasy: 398
Mystery: 75
Urban Fantasy/Dark Fantasy: 117
Science Fiction: 247
True Ghost/Paranormal: 149
True Crime: 130

But I still have more to add in all genres but just haven't taken the time to do it yet. lol

Then I have shelves for tbr books to buy and I guess that would be my wish list count which is the total of 126 books. I have three shelves for wish list tbr to buy books as I have a shelf for horror and then a couple of shelves that are non-horror. lol
