Hosted by My Reader's Block
Challenge Levels:
Pike's Peak: Read 12 books from your TBR pile/s
Mount Blanc: Read 24 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Vancounver: Read 36 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Ararat: Read 48 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Kilimanjaro: Read 60 books from your TBR pile/s
El Toro*: Read 75 books from your TBR pile/s (*aka Cerro El Toro in South America)
Mt. Everest: Read 100 books from your TBR pile/s
Mount Olympus (Mars): Read 150+ books from your TBR pile/s
The Rules:
*Once you choose your challenge level, you are locked in for at least that many books. You are welcome to voyage further and conquer taller mountains after your commitment is met. All books from lower mountains carry over towards the next peak.
*Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2022
*You may sign up at any time--no matter when you see this challenge. All qualifying books read after January 1st count.
*Books must be owned by you prior to January 1, 2022--items requested or ordered prior to January 1, may count even if they arrive in the new year. No library books~. If you're looking for a library book challenge or one that counts books on your non-owned TBR list, then please see Mount TBR's sister challenge: the Virtual Mount TBR Challenge.
~The ONLY exception to the library rule: If you own the book in any form and have a reason to check out a version from the library instead, then you may count it. For example--if you own a hard copy, but are planning on taking a trip where listening to the audio version would be a great way to knock out a book while you drive, then by all means check out the audio version and have a wonderful trip! Please check with me if you have questions.
*Rules for Rereads: Any reread may count, regardless of how long you've owned it, provided you have not counted it for a previous Mount TBR Challenge.
*Audiobooks and E-books may count provided they are yours prior to January 1. ARCs are also fine.
*You may count any "currently reading" book that you begin prior to January 1--provided you had 50% or more of the book left to finish when January 1 rolled around. I will trust you all on that. The only exception is if you have participated in Mount TBR in 2020 and were unable to finish the book in time for the final Check-in Post. Then--if you finish the book post-January 1, you may count it as your first step of the new challenge.
*You may count "Did Not Finish" books provided they meet your own standard for such things, you do not plan to ever finish it, and you move it off your mountain [give it away, sell it, remove from e-resources, etc.]. For example, my personal rule (unless it's a very short book) is to give it 100 pages. If I decide I just can't finish it and won't ever, then off the mountain it goes and I count it as a victory--the stack is smaller!
*Books may be used to count for other challenges as well.
*Feel free to submit your list in advance or to tally them as you climb.
*A blog and reviews are not necessary to participate. If you have a blog, then please post about the challenge and link that post (not your home page) in the form below. My link provider has limited the number of link "parties" I can have open at a time--so I will be using Google forms for all my sign-up links this year. Non-bloggers may enter their names only without a blog link OR members of Goodreads are welcome to join the Goodreads group HERE.

*Anthologies which contain more than one full-length book may count for the number of books included in the edition--provided that you read all books included AND that the books were published individually at some point. For instance, I own a large number of 3-in-1 Detective Book Club editions. Those three books count as three separate entries on Mount TBR. Occasionally, publishers put together editions of "previously unpublished works." Those editions would only count as one entry since those works have not been published separately at any time.

**This is a reading challenge post.
Good luck with this challenge.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE joining challenges but always join too many and never finish them all. In 2022 I plan on joining less and getting them all done. Wish me luck :)
For the last few years, I was only doing the 50 books a year challenge, via GoodReads. This year I decided to join this one since I am basically only reading books from my TBR anyway. I very rarely ask for a review book anymore, or take one that is offered. Plus I don't buy as many as I used to.... only the ones I think I can't live without... LOL.
DeleteI wish you an abundance of luck with your challenges for the upcoming year!!
I decided to join this challenge for the first time since I have so many books that I haven't read yet. Thanks for posting about this!
DeleteYou're very welcome, I'm so glad you're joined in! Happy reading and good luck with the challenge!
DeleteGood luck with the challenge!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the 2022 Climb! So glad you're joining me.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I ever completed the challenge. I'm pretty proud of my journey right now!!
DeleteFreda: Congratulations on completing your goal. I'm sorry I didn't visit last year. I don't get around to visiting all the blogs like I used to. I thought life would get less complicated once my son was grown...but it hasn't. And seemed to go off the rails quite often. I hope you'll join me in climbing again in 2023.
ReplyDeleteEmpty nesting is definitely not all it's cracked up to be. Hoping 2023 is a better year!!
