I am once again signing up for the Mount TBR Challenge Hosted by My Readers Block.
And the rules:*Once you choose your challenge level, you are locked in for at least that many books. If you find that you're on a mountain-climbing roll and want to tackle a taller mountain, then you are certainly welcome to upgrade. All books counted for lower mountains may carry over towards the new peak.
*Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2015.
*You may sign up anytime from now until November 4th, 2015.
*Books must be owned by you prior to January 1, 2015. No ARCs (none), no library books. No rereads. [To clarify--based on a question raised last year--the intention is to reduce the stack of books that you have bought for yourself or received as presents {birthday, Christmas, "just because," etc.}. Audiobooks and E-books may count if they are yours and they are one of your primary sources of backlogged books.]
*You may count any "currently reading" book that you begin prior to January 1--provided that you had 50% or more of the book left to finish in 2014. I will trust you all on that.
*Books may be used to count for other challenges as well.
*Feel free to submit your list in advance (as incentive to really get those books taken care of) or to tally them as you climb.
*There will be quarterly check-ins and prize drawings!
*A blog and reviews are not necessary to participate. If you have a blog, then please post a challenge sign up and link THAT post (not your home page) into the linky below. Non-bloggers, please leave a comment declaring your challenge level--OR, if you are a member of Goodreads, I will once again put together a group for the challenge there. Feel free to sign up HERE. At the beginning of the year, I will once again have a sidebar link for called Mount TBR Review Headquarters for 2015 reviews and progress updates.

I am once again signing up for Mt. Kilimanjaro with 60 books, but have every intention of reaching El Toro at 75 (in fact I have been preparing for this challenge and buying all the books I want to read next year so they count towards this challenge hahaha a little planning goes a long way).
Some of the books I plan to read are:
The Tudor Court Series (books 1-6)
The Pride Series (books 3-9 will count - 1 & 2 will be re-reads)
Daughters of the Glen Series (books 3-8 will count)
Hearts of Anemoni series (books 2-4 will count)
Warriors Series (books 1-6)
And many many more books - I have created a Goodreads shelf for this challenge so I remember what books I owned before January 1st, 2015
I hope you are able to join this challenge too and work on those TBR shelves!!
