I often joke about how I don't have a to be read pile or even mountain. I have a complete to be read mountain range. With that in mind, I'm signing up for the 2014 Mount TBR Challenge hosted by My Reader's Block. And, in a similar note, I'm also signing up for the 2014 Rewind Challenge hosted by Coffee Bean Bookshelf.
The rules? Read any book you've bought before the start of 2014 but haven't actually read yet. Sounds easy enough. And it runs from January 1 to December 31 of this year, so that makes it easy as well.
Even with all the books on my list, I'm going with Pike's Peak, which is just 12 books - one a month. I know me too well. I'll get distracted by new books and struggle to finish this one. It's why my too be read list is so high. The Rewind Challenge doesn't have levels, but we can set our own goals. 12 sounds like a good level for both challenges.
I'll be listing and linking the reviews to the books here as I finish them. But for now I'm posting the title of the one I'll be starting 2013 with.
June 30th Update: Since I've already hit my original goal and surpassed it (I'm at 16), I'm going to head up the next mountain, which is 24. Only 8 more books to go this year. I think I can, I think I can.
