We are halfway through the year and it's time for another Mount TBR check in! I know it's awfully cliché to say this, but the time has gone by awfully fast.
1. Progress:
I have finished 37 out of my required 60 books, which means that I am seven books ahead of schedule. If I were actually climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, I would be 10,223 feet high right now. That's pretty good, but I still own a ton of books that I haven't read yet. I still have a lot of work to do!
2.A book that was new to me:
One book that was new to me was The Odyssey. I hadn't read any other ancient works for pleasure prior to this one, and I ended up having a great time with it. I was concerned initially that it would be boring or difficult to understand, but happily, it was neither of those things. I actually enjoyed Odysseus' adventure quite a bit. Reading this made me want to give other ancient Greek works a shot.
I'm on track to finish this challenge early at this point. I am hopeful that I can keep up this pace in the next few months!
Doing great! Thanks for checking in and good luck with the second half of the climb.
ReplyDeleteI clicked over from the link-up because I love you blog title! I'm a middle school teacher on the other side of the country. Enjoy the climb!
