The 2014 TBR Pile Challenge was hosted by Roof Beam Reader. It was not a successful challenge for me. I listed 14 books on my master post (12 to read and 2 alternates) but I only got 7 of them read. I did learn some things from this experience:
- Making a stack of books that I am supposed to read makes those books seem like homework to be avoided
- I don't pick up books that seem depressing--most of the unread ones from the pile fall into this category
- I like flexibility in my reading challenges
A few of the books in this pile may still get read sometime. some of them are going to be donated to the library unread.
If the TBR pile represents some books you are not fully motivated to read then I think getting half way through it should seem like a success (the glass is half full!).
