Books and Reading - 2019
Mount TBR 2019 Challenge
Now that I'm all unpacked again, and hopefully at home for a while, I'm looking forward to getting back to reading properly again. Not that I ever stopped reading, but last year's Mount TBR didn't get as far as I was hoping (since they all ended up in storage for eight months of the year...), and otherwise I just read, without talking much about it. Which might have been a relief to you all (*g*) but I'm going to give tracking it here a go again this year! I have lots of To-Be-Read books on my shelves, and I'm in a book group that meets once a month. And I'll include fanfic too, because that's reading. ETA - oh, and I forgot to say! I'm going to try for Mount Blanc again this year (24 books) but actually hope that I can climb higher and higher... *g* (My 2019 Mount TBR post)
ETA - ooh, found another reading challenge to play! Livejournal BookBingo - at ljbookbingo
