Mt TBR report: October 2016

Posted on November 4, 2016November 4, 2016 by Elizabeth

Oh boy. October was a pretty good month for reading. It also involved a flood of acquisitions: some Aurealis entries, some gifts, some acquisitions from Conflux, some loans and some just because I had to have them. So usual story (well, except for the gifts), just slightly higher numbers. My #ReadMyOwnDamnBooks stats continue to slip. My goal […]

Mt TBR report: June 2016

Posted on July 1, 2016July 1, 2016 by Elizabeth

Entries for the Aurealis Awards started coming in this month. It has been a challenge to juggle them with reading for the Hugos and reading review books. However, I’m doing a decent job of keeping up with the Aurealis reading and the voting deadline for the Hugos is in a month. Things should ease […]

Mt TBR report: April 2016

Posted on May 4, 2016June 20, 2016 by Elizabeth

March may have been a terrible month for Mt TBR, but April made up for it. I’m very pleased that I have almost broken even for the year and I’m hoping I can keep this up for the next eight months. Hey, a girl can dream. I’ve also done better with #ReadMyOwnDamnBooks. My goal for the […]

Mt TBR report: March 2016

Posted on April 1, 2016June 10, 2016 by Elizabeth

Um. So, between some excellent sales (particularly from Samhain as they wind up), some raids on the library in preparation for Contact and my trip to the Contact dealers room, I might have been a bit excitable with my acquisitions. Even keeping up my excellent reading rate hasn’t helped. But I always knew March was […]

Mt TBR Report: December 2015 and Yearly Wrap-up

Posted on January 4, 2016June 10, 2016 by Elizabeth

Happy New Year! I hope 2016 has been treating you well so far. I had a lovely time with family and friends. My only complaint is that I didn’t get enough reading time (but when is that ever the case?). Before I kick off with all my book-geeky stats, I want to congratulate Liz Barr […]

Mt TBR report: August 2015

Posted on September 4, 2015June 11, 2016 by Elizabeth

Um. So I might have got a bit carried away with Mt TBR this month (or is it that Mt TBR carried me away this month…?). I think the only thing that saved me was the Bout of Books reading challenge. Mt TBR status Mt TBR @ 1 January 2015: 202 Mt TBR @ 31 […]
