Welcome to Mt. TBR
At this time, I have boxes of books in a storage unit. They've been listed at Library Thing and have a somewhat method to the boxing but not really. This isn't even all of them! A lot of these have been read at least once already but the goal is to read all the ones that have been purchased but not read....To Be Read.
I found some challenges to help me with this!

Basic requirements: No books from 2012, purchased or gifts. No library books, re-reads or ARCs. There are several levels (12, 25, 40, 50, 75, 100) corresponding with a mountains. I'm going for Mt. Vancouver and hope to read 25 books.

Welcome Fellow Mountain Climber! So glad to have you joining us for the expedition! Good luck! I hope to see you waving from atop Mt. Vancouver by Dec 2012.
I'm doing this one too, and also at the Mt. Vancouver level. See you at the top!
