Mount Olympus (Mars): Read 150+ books from your TBR pile/s

I looked over the challenge levels and decided to return to Mt. Ararat (48 books.) I just made it this year, so I think the next level, Mt. Kilimanjaro (60 books,) is probably beyond me. But you never know, I can always switch up!

I never used to count before, either, but I've found that the challenges keep me on track. Instead of meandering around my collection, wondering what I'm going to read next, I put the ones "next" aside, so that I really do have a TBR pile as the year starts.

And being able to let go of another bookcase keeps me from buying more...well, not too many more. *g*

I'm trying to avoid buying another bookcase. Most of my new books are on my Kindle app or I get them from the library (mostly audio there.) I have loads of books I'm slowly sorting through and see what to donate. I'm unhappy half.com went away; I was selling a lot of used books through that venue and there's nothing else online that works the same way they did.

Oh, I'm definitely not buying another bookcase! But there are certain authors that I always buy the book, so the bookcases I have aren't emptying as fast as I'd like.

As I go through my books, I take the ones I'm getting rid of to a local bookstore that has a used section. I obviously don't get anywhere near what I paid for them, but it's something. The rest I donate to the library.
