Oh my goodness! Where does the time go? Last I checked, September was just starting....and now it's gone and it's time to get the third quarterly checkpoint up and running. Let's see how our challengers are doing after they've got 9 months under the ol' mountain-climbing belt.
For those who would like to participate in this checkpoint post, I'd like you to do two things:
1. Tell us how many miles you've made
it up your mountain (# of books read). If you're really ambitious, you
can do some intricate math and figure out how the number of books you've
read correlates to actual miles up Pike's Peak, Mt. Ararat, etc.
2. Complete ONE (or more if you like) of the following:
B. Pair up two of your reads. But this time we're going for opposites. One book with a male protagonist and one with a female protagonist. One book with "Good" in the title and one with "Evil." Get creative and show off a couple of your books.
C. Which book (read so far) has been
on your TBR mountain the longest? Was it worth the wait? Or is it
possible you should have tackled it back when you first put it on the
pile? Or tossed it off the edge without reading it all?
D. Choose 1-4 titles from your stacks
and using a word from the title, do an image search. Post the first
all-eyes-friendly picture associated with that word.
Please prepare your answers in a Checkpoint blog post and link up below.
And what do you get for all that hard work (and distraction from the actual climb)? The link will close at 11:59 pm on Saturday, October 8. Sometime next Sunday I will crank up the Custom Random Number Generator and pick a winning climber. He or she will have the chance to add to their TBR stack via my gently-used book vault (prize list will be sent). Just think, if you win a book you can start up a pile for next year's Mount TBR Challenge.
Even if you're not in the mood for a prize or you've already finished your climb, I'd love to have you check in with us and tell us all your news!
***Please note--the linky is for Checkpoint posts only. The link must be to a specific Checkpoint post (not your blog's home page in general). Links that are not Checkpoint-specific will be removed--to make it easier for me to track a winner. Enter here OR on my Goodreads Challenge site (but not both places, please).

I feel so unaccomplished... lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm up to 31 books, yay! I think I'll be able to reach the third level by the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteI am up to 11 books toward my Pike's Peak goal of 12.
ReplyDeleteC. Searching for Paradise in Parker PA was in my iTunes library for years. I just finally got around to listening to it, but should have "tossed off the edge" long ago.
