I'm also doing the TBR Mountain challenge, with a commitment to read 52+ books. Most of the books in the Read Harder challenge are from my library (tried to fill as many of the prompts as possible from books I already owned). Here are my books so far that I owned prior to 12/31/17:

1. Pirate Lattitudes
2. The Notebook
3. The God of Small Things

I've also challenged myself to reading 1+ business book a month. My January book is Your Best Year Ever by Michael Hyatt.

Great goals! Enjoy
