Mount TBR 2020: My Sign-Up

January 2020 kicks off the ninth year for the Mount TBR Reading Challenge and, despite climbing like mad and conquering Mount Everest on the regular each year, I still have mountain ranges to climb. And miles of bookcases to read before I sleep (or something like that). I just can't resist a good old fashioned used bookstore (though they are becoming rarer and rarer) or the community Hoosier Hills Food Bank Book Sale which adds to the mountains as fast as I knock books off.

So, once again, I plan to concentrate on reading primarily from my own books in the coming year. Perhaps I will actually plant a flag on Mount Olympus before I'm done...buy declared goal will remain Mount Everest. Please join me in  knocking out some of those books that have been waiting for attention for weeks...months...even years. See link above for details.
