BookCrossing Reduce MTBR and Other Challenges

This group is for all BookCrossers who would like to reduce MTBR (mountain of to-be-read books) or participate in other BookCrossing-related challenges!

Here is how it works:
1. Start a thread with your name as part of the title. Some members like to create a new thread each year.
2. Declare the goals that you wish to achieve.
3. Post progress reports.

The most popular challenge in the past years has been to reduce MTBR. You can list all the books on your TBR list or just the ones you plan to finish in a given time period. You can add tickers to track your progress. Many here count only books registered by other people but some count their own as well. You are free to structure your challenge any way you like!

Some members here have kept track of their other BookCrossing-related challenges, including various release challenges. Anything goes, as long as it helps motivate you to read and release more BC books!
