Books 2016 - Mount To-Be-Read Challenge

[byslantedlight]

I'm catching up on all sorts of things today - or at least that's the plan. Trouble is, one thing leads to another - I went to check whether my current R.I.P. challenge book was one I could use in my Mount To-Be-Read challenge, and couldn't find either thing. Which meant I was slightly confused, cos I thought I'd posted about this when I started it, but maybe I just did it via Goodreads or something. Anyway, for the sake of knowing where I'm up to (cos I'm further than I thought, though not much, cos I keep buying books)... I'm supposed to be reading 24 books from this challenge for 2016 - ack, I'm only up to...

1. Truckers by Terry Pratchett
2. The Humans by Matthew Haig
3. Fire from Heaven by Mary Renault
4. Savage Magic by by Lloyd Shepherd
5. The Raven's Head by Karen Maitland
6. Valentine Grey by Sandi Toksvig
7. Ways To Live Forever by Sally Nichols
Of course the real problem is that my books-to-read have actually expanded this year to take up another shelf, not one less... *headdesk*

It does seem to be the curse of the avid reader, to never be able to actually bring down the number of books you own? At least, not for very long. *g* I've done pretty well with reading, and then getting rid of, quite a few books through the Mount TBR challenge. Problem is, like you, I keep buying more!

I'm getting better about passing on books that I thought were okay, but will probably never read again, but if I like a story, then its useless - I want to keep it! I might read it again...!
