"Time to Climb Mt. TBR" Challenge [ENDED: 12/31/11]
LOL! If we could only read them as fast as they reproduce, yah? :)
Yeah I'm on a wait and see too. I have lots of vacation time coming. Looks like I will be out from Dec 16 through the Tuesday following the New Year. I'll get lots of reading in!My books seem to be replicating at an alarming rate as well. How do they do that? And how do I get TWO copies of
in ONE day???? Argh... talk about reproducing!

Is it Xmas yet? I'm ready to start this challenge & make love to my Kindle. *tear*
LMAO!!! Patience, young grasshopper.
LOL you all crack me up... Stacy has twins and LethalLovely making love to her Kindle! I need to cross challenge and pick 25 I REALLY want to read. :)
Yep, that's the name of the game AV :)
Absolutely!I've got a couple books that haven't made the challenge "cut" yet...they only fit one! Tweaking books and scouting other possibilities! LOL!
I'm in - but I'm going to have to go a bit soft, because of my lists in the '2011 Resolutions' and '2011 Back to the future'.Mt. Vesuvius: 1,281 metres
10 books
TBA
Once I reach my summit - can I go for the next one if time permits (and if the books have been on your TBR list for long enough)?
Shannon, don't forget you can cross challenge.

Thanks Wan I have it marked on my calender I probably won't get to it right away that's why I left it off my list. I've been collecting this series since it came out and I have finally decided to read it as part of a few challenges I'm doing here at SOS.

That'll cover a bunch of the #s right there.

Great list, Kat! I'm jealous. I've read those, but loved them so much I wish I was new to them all over again. Hope you like 'um.
Yep, this is the place for those books that you've been meaning to read and just haven't ... no changes means you know you'll get to them next year.
I just noticed that I'm listed as "considering." I'm in. I'm just waiting to see how many gift cards I get for Xmas to post my list...since I can't change it. *tear* *tear* *snot bubble*
Fixed! LMAO!! *here's a tissue, clean yourself up, girl*murmuring soothing words to calm Lethal* It'll be ok. Just choose wisely. :D

LMAO! Thanks, Steph. I will try my best to choose very wisely. If there's anything I hate, it's being stuck reading a crappy book for a challenge.
:) But of course! Been there, done that and hope to never do it again.
I hope to never do it again either but I probably will. You keep enticing me with your wonderful challenges. I'm getting come-hither looks from "Better Late, Than Never."
Don't I know it, I've now read 3 this week that were 1-2 stars. Only finished them cause of challenges. Shockers all. I'm going to be really careful when compiling my list for this one. You Betcha!

If I can't get throught the first three chapters I put the book down
Not a bad idea sometimes, Lizz. Always MUCH better books out there TBR.
I would normally too, Lizz, but it was too close to the end of the challenge and I couldn't find anything else to fit in the short time frame I had left. Had to finish the challenges.I should of known there was a reason I kept putting off those books. *sigh*
Still I re-read about 20 favourites in November to make up for it - mostly 5 stars for me. LOL.

. Please let me know if I've missed anyone. :)
My list is done!!! :) I will finish 2 series, get in some firsts, stand alones and even an anthology! *gasp* :) I am looking forward to starting. I will need another challenge like this for the second half of the year to keep me focused. :) (I will have these done by the end of July probably if Forever is released on Kindle at the same time.)
Oh I have a question. We have to read the first 2 books before we move on right? Or just list them and read them at some point during the year?
Looks good, AV! You can restart the challenge (skipping the "first 2" part) in the 2nd 1/2 of the year, if you'd like. :)You have to read the 2 first, then move onto the rest of the list.
Seriously? We have to read the first 2 books before we can read the others? Double damn. Time to revise my list for the umpteenth time.
Quadruple damn.....Most of my books are going to be from the time I joined (March 2010) until October 2010...& in order by date added...
Damn times infinity....
LMAO!! Need another tissue? Do I spot another snot bubble formin'? There, there, poor Lethal. In my defense it does state just that in post #1 and near the top too. *sorry Charlie*As Gumby as I am, I'm afraid, for this challenge, ya'll are forcing me to stick to my guns like a mama bear protecting her cubs. 'Course a bear wouldn't have guns, but you get the idea. LOL!
I don't read the rules. I'm too cool for rules....unless they're Steph's rules. Steph has whips.Sorry for being such a whiny biatch. I know it's a trial putting up with me & this challenge right now. *sniff sniff*
LOL!! Yeah, don't you forget it! or make me pull out said whip. >:)Nah, not worry, my dear. I'm just bound and determined to make you challenge yourself. It's only 5 books, you don't have to go for the whole 25.
I'll take the boohooin', along with your list, please. LOL!
I think I'm in, no changes after the start date will be tough for me - as the list always changes.Just got to figure out what level I'm going to go for.
Questions, oh whip-mistress (aka Steph, the Mega-Challenge-Mind), do all the TBR's have to already (prior to what date?? Can I hurry and add them??) on our GR TBR shelf? 'Cause I have books on fictfact and at home that are not on my GR TBR shelf. Also, do anticipated (with bated breath) new-in-2011 releases count as TBR's (I don't have all of them on my GR TBR shelf, either)? Inquiring minds want to know.

I understand. I'm the same way. I've only participated in 1-2 other "can't change" challenges and who knows, I may end up pouting 1/2 through this one with ya'll. LOL! Always hard to know if you've picked ones that you'll feel like reading, but remember ... you can play in these reindeer games with only 5 books and you have all of 2011 to read them. :D

LOL Zaanodes! No, all of the books you list here do not have to be on your GR list. I don't have all of mine here either. But, you do have to read 2 of your oldest/first books added to your GR TBR list before moving onto other books. Make sense? RE: 2011 ... I am going to say ok b/c those will definitely be headed to our TBR lists, if they aren't already there.

I must say...the stack of books in my living room seems to be growing (they seem to be trying to be rabbits, not books and proliferating at an alarming rate!) and I have almost enough on hand to cover December challenges and this! EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! But shrieked in happiness!
