Mount TBR 2015 wrap-up

Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2015

Bev at My Reader’s Block hosts this challenge that encourages us to read our own books. This was my fifth year for this challenge and once again I made my goal of  Mt. Ararat and 48 books. There’s still a month left but all the library books I had on hold forever just came in and even though I will get a few more of my own read this month, I won’t make another mountain so I’m calling the challenge. Here’s what I read and moved off my shelves, most of them given away but a few saved on my “Keep to Re-read Shelf”.
