Once again I am doing several challenges to help clear the ever growing TBR pile. Some refer to physical books I own and others have to do with clearing the list of Want to Read and Library borrows that I am always seeming to add to as well.
First up are 2 hosted by Bev on her MyReadersBlock blog.
Mount TBR- #MountTBR2021 books you already own before 1/1/21
Pike's Peak: Read 12 books from your TBR pile/s- <== Trying this
Mount Blanc: Read 24 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Vancouver: 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.
*Books must be owned by you prior to January 1, 2021
*Audiobooks and E-books may count provided they are yours prior to January 1. ARCs are also fine.
Virtual Mount TBR- #VirtualMountTBR2021 Clear your want to read list

~Once you choose your challenge level you are locked in for at least that many books. If you find you are on a mountain-climbing roll and want to tackle a taller mountain, then you are welcome to upgrade. All books counted for lower mountains carry over towards the new peak.
This challenge is only for books you do not own. They may be borrowed from the library, a friend, found on a free e-book site (like Project Gutenberg), or anywhere else that allows you to temporarily "checkout" the book. Also--unlike Mount TBR--there is no date limit on your wish list. If you see a book that strikes your fancy after January 1 and want to grab it from the library, etc. then go for it.
This is a straightforward challenge to just track books that are on your to read list- whether or not you actually own them. Only requirement is that it must be published before 2020 and be on your list at the beginning of the challenge. TBR Books I've read:
any tbr form: 163
books I owned before Jan: 15/12
virtual books/loans: 148/36
