Introductions

[Bev]

As I mention in my mountain topic, every year I plan to read only from my own stacks in an effort to get my owned TBR piles under control. And every year I get distracted by library books that I've always wanted to read or a book that a friend tells me is fantastic. So--I'm going to reward myself with a mountain climb and hope that I don't get too distracted from Mount Everest over in the Mount TBR Challenge...Although, being a Star Trek fan, it would be nice to reach Mount Seleya just once.

Please take a moment to introduce yourself to the group.

I'm Carla, 4th or 5th year here I believe. I too get distracted with books I don't own and fall down rabbit holes when watching booktube. This year I need to focus focus focus. I have wayyyy too many books laying around. I've really slowed down the end of 2025 and each new year gets me refocused. Good luck all! Let's hit the new year running!

Hi everyone! This is my 3rd Virtual TBR challenge. I am also part of the Mount TBR Challenge, and I want to focus on that more so this year. However, with the new Goodreads challenges and the library so accessible, I am going to attempt only 12 this year.

See you one the slopes!

[Debra]

Hey, I'm Debra. I'm totally new at this but it sounds like fun. I have a few actual books I own that I need to read but I'm addicted to the Library. Looking forward to the climb!!!

[Beverly]

I'm Beverly and I've lost count of how many times I've attempted this challenge. lol. I did reach the goal this last year, so let's up the ante!!!

Good luck everyone!

Hello from Iowa, U.S.A.! This is the 2nd time doing this challenge. I am happy to report that last year's challenge did assist me in my life goal of living a life with less physical items taking up room in my house. Last year I was able to also get my TBR list to number under 200 books. I am doing a bigger mountain in hopes of shrinking the TBR list again, Looking forward to cheering you on your journeys.

Hello, I'm Sheila. I've lost track how many times I've done this challenge, but the last two years I've been a bit of a failure. So the plan this year is to start small and build up instead of going large and being hard on myself.
