Challenge Complete: Mount TBR

One of my goals this year was to read more (and a higher percentage of my overall reads) from my own TBR mountain range.  With that goal in mind, I designed the Mount TBR Reading Challenge (click link for the complete details). Since I'm such a bookaholic I donned my hiking gear and aimed straight for Mt. Everest. .

Mt. Everest: Read 100+ books from your TBR pile/s

I started out with some planned reading and also left some spaces empty so that if certain books in the TBR stacks just happened to call my name at a particular time I could use them for the challenge as well. Here's what my trek up Everest looked like:
