Mt TBR Report: October 2017

Posted on November 3, 2017November 1, 2017 by Elizabeth

With two months left to go, I think I can give up on any vague hope I had of breaking even on Mt TBR this year. Though, to be fair, October is both birthday month and Conflux, so I didn’t really stand a chance. Fortunately, my other reading goals are looking good. The first was […]

Mt TBR Report: September 2017

Posted on October 4, 2017October 4, 2017 by Elizabeth

This year was certainly no exception, leading to my poorest month for reading so far this year. What reading I did tended towards light romances. I managed to compound the situation by acquiring way too […]

Mt TBR Report: August 2017

Posted on September 1, 2017August 31, 2017 by Elizabeth

Although August got off to a good start, I had a bit of a reading slump that started about a week in. I’m only just pulling out of it now. Nevertheless, Mt TBR is still looking in good shape after I culled a few books. It brings me back below my starting figure for the […]

Mt TBR report: June 2017

Posted on July 7, 2017July 4, 2017 by Elizabeth

2017 is now half over and I have met my initial annual reading goal of 100 books. I’ve decided to go ahead and set a new target. Without the Aurealis Awards to spur me on, my reading pace has slowed, so I think 200 books isn’t realistic. However, 150 books should be achievable. June was […]
