Mount TBR: My Third Quarter Checkpoint

 At the 3/4 mark of the Mount TBR Reading Challenge (click link for rules and sign-up page), I have completed 81 out of the 100 books needed to reach the peak of Mt. Everest.  That means that I've covered 7,166.88 meters (of 8,848) or 23,513.49 feet (of 29,029)--quite a trek!  It's going to be a push to complete the last 19 books--particularly since one of those will be Stephen King's doorstop, 11/22/63.

finds The Maltese Falcon

and solves The Mystery of the Yellow Room
