Lucky 13! Yes, this year marks my thirteenth climb up Mount TBR as well as the thirteenth year I've sponsored the challenge. It will come as a surprise to no one that my TBR mountain range is no smaller than when I started. I just seem to trade one mountain for another, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to keep trying to read more than I take in. Once more the goal is to climb Mount Everest (100 of my own books) with the hopes of planting a flag atop Mount Olympus on Mars. I've managed that feat in two of the past years--maybe a third time in 2023, though I seem to be slowing down a bit here in the final quarter. Cross your fingers for me! And...grab your hiking boots and come join me on a TBR trek in 2024!
