More Discipline Needed!
Y’all may have heard that C.B.’s TBR Double Dare is officially over as of April 1st. How’d I do?
As I’ve said recently, not as well as I’d hoped, even though I stuck to the rules. I did learn, though, what will make this more effective next year: a much smaller December 31st library holds list.
I also entered a number of other TBR challenges for this year. Here’s a quick update.
• I’ve successfully read two (of twelve) titles for RoofBeam Reader’s TBR Pile Challenge but have yet to post the reviews so they don’t qualify yet.
• I’ve counted six books for Evie’s TBR Challenge, but only three have been reviewed thus far.
• Bev helped me clarify what qualifies for the Mount TBR Challenge and I have six on that list, toward my goal of 50.
• And Bonnie’s Off-the-Shelf Challenge has easy-peasy rules, so I can count 13 titles completed there, out of 50.
The bottom line is: I’m off to a slow start on my reading and an even slower start on my reviews. I’m going to be drawing on my TBR pile for a while yet. Time for me to get cracking!
How are you doing?
Sadly I have not read any books for the 2012 TBR Challenge yet. The shiny new books books are always so much more enticing, more seductive, calling to me … read me first, read me first. Sigh. I have eight more months.
Oh, I know that feeling Leslie and it’s why I rue that I ever committed to a set reading list for the year. Even so, I’m behind in all my challenges. But there’s still nine months for both you & me to achieve victory. Don’t give up!
