If you are a bookaholic like me, then you can't let a bookstore (used or new, it doesn't matter) go by without stopping in ("just to look") and walking out with at least something--if not an armload. I wait all year for the Red Cross Book Sale in October so I can cart them out by the bagful. And, well, that means that I wind up with gigantic piles of TBR books stacked up around my backroom. I don't have a TBR shelf. Oh, no. I have "Mount TBR"...possibly a whole mountain range.
Challenge Levels
Pike's Peak: Read 12 books from your TBR pile/s Mt. Vancouver: Read 25 books from your TBR pile/s Mt. Ararat: Read 40 books from your TBR piles/s Mt. Kilimanjaro: Read 50 books from your TBR pile/s El Toro: Read 75 books from your TBR pile/s Mt. Everest: Read 100+ books from your TBR pile/s
And the rules:
Once you choose your challenge level, you are locked in for at least that many books. If you find that you're on a mountain-climbing roll and want to tackle a taller mountain, then you are certainly welcome to upgrade.
Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2012.
You may sign up anytime from now until November 30th, 2012.
Books must be owned by you prior to January 1, 2012. No ARCs, no library books. No rereads.
Books may be used to count for other challenges as well.
Feel free to submit your list in advance (as incentive to really get those books taken care of) or to tally them as you climb.
A blog and reviews are not necessary to participate.
A progress site for reviews will go up in January and I will post the link in my sidebar for easy access.

I am going to try and climb Mt. Everest. I easier have more than 100 books sitting on my shelves unread. I am going to try and clean those out this year. (To make room for new to me books....) Oops, did I type that? Of course, I'm not going to buy any new books this year. *wink wink* My reading list will be determined as I read.
