As 2013 draws to a close, Bev at My Reader's Block requests our summaries of how we did in the year, regarding attacking the TBR stacks. In the year, I read a total of 48 books from my TBR stacks. My goal had only been 36 books, thus I exceeded my goal.
These are the books I read for this challenge in October, November, and December:
- The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie
- Raven Black by Ann Cleeves
- White Nights by Ann Cleeves
- Dark Star by Alan Furst
- The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
- Bones and Silence by Reginald Hill
- Hard Currency by Stuart M. Kaminsky
- Instruments of Darkness by Robert Wilson
- Silver Pigs by Lindsey Davis
- Murder in Belleville by Cara Black
Bev also asked us to complete this little quiz:
My Life According to Mount TBR: Using the titles of the books you read this year, please associate each statement with a book read on your journey up the Mountain.It was a stretch with the list of books I read, but for once I made the effort.

Although I have not formally joined in yet, I will be taking part in this challenge for 2014, because I am always trying to work away at the books I already have rather than buy and read new ones.

These are impressive figures indeed. I am still struggling up Pike's Peak.
Tracy, I assume you read more books over and above the 48 books from your TBR pile. Either way I can see you've had a great reading year.
Neer, I cannot decide what level I will aim for in 2014. I think I will read less books because I have some longer ones to read, but I still like to read at least half of my books (for a year) from my TBR pile. And I plan to buy a lot less books in 2014.
Prashant, I have had a good reading year in 2013. I read over 100 books total, and that is very, very unusual for me.
