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. All books from lower mountains
carry over towards the next peak.
*Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2022
*You may sign up at any time--no matter when you see this challenge. All qualifying books read after January 1st count.
*Books
must be owned by you prior to January 1, 2022--items requested or
ordered prior to January 1, may count even if they arrive in the new
year. No library books~. If you're looking for a library book challenge
or one that counts books on your non-owned TBR list, then please see
Mount TBR's sister challenge: the Virtual Mount TBR Challenge.
~The ONLY exception to the library rule: If you own the book in any
form and have a reason to check out a version from the library instead,
then you may count it. For example--if you own a hard copy, but are
planning on taking a trip where listening to the audio version would be a
great way to knock out a book while you drive, then by all means check
out the audio version and have a wonderful trip! Please check with me if
you have questions.
*Rules
for Rereads: Any reread may count, regardless of how long you've owned
it, provided you have not counted it for a previous Mount TBR Challenge.
*Audiobooks and E-books may count provided they are yours prior to January 1. ARCs are also fine.
*You
may count any "currently reading" book that you begin prior to January
1--provided you had 50% or more of the book left to finish when January 1
rolled around. I will trust you all on that. The only exception is if
you have participated in Mount TBR in 2020 and were unable to finish the
book in time for the final Check-in Post. Then--if you finish the book
post-January 1, you may count it as your first step of the new
challenge.
*You
may count "Did Not Finish" books provided they meet your own standard
for such things, you do not plan to ever finish it, and you move it off
your mountain [give it away, sell it, remove from e-resources, etc.].
For example, my personal rule (unless it's a very short book) is to give
it 100 pages. If I decide I just can't finish it and won't ever, then
off the mountain it goes and I count it as a victory--the stack is
smaller!
*Books may be used to count for other challenges as well.
*Feel free to submit your list in advance or to tally them as you climb.
*A blog and reviews are not necessary to participate. If you have a blog, then please post about the challenge and link that post (not your home page) in the form below. My link provider has limited the number of link "parties" I can have open at a time--so I will be using Google forms for all my sign-up links this year. Non-bloggers may enter their names only without a blog link OR members of Goodreads are welcome to join the Goodreads group HERE.
*If you post on Facebook, Instagram, or other social media to log a book, please use #MountTBR2022.
* As I have in the past, I will have a headquarters link in the left hand side-bar which will offer links to this original post, monthly review links, and the final wrap-up. I will update it at the beginning of the new year The Headquarters will also have a link to a list of our climbing crew with their commitments.
Happy climbing!
Good luck! I like challenges like this that encourage me to read the books I already have!
ReplyDeleteGreg, thank you! I do too. It will be my first time participating, but I NEED to catch up on some of my own books too. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteWhat an interesting challenge! I'll be rooting for you Cindy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, I appreciate it!
DeleteI lose focus on my ever growing TBR list as well. Good luck with your challenges next year! I haven't decided which ones to do yet.
ReplyDeleteKami, I will do a few more and am still trying to decide. I had this one recommended to me yesterday and think I will do it: https://anintentionallife.me/2022-read-your-bookshelf-challenge/
