2014 Mount TBR Challenge: My Sign-Up

Here I am signing up for my very own Mount TBR Reading Challenge (click link for rules and sign-up page).My bookaholic ways have not changed at all and I'm headed back to Mt. Everest with the hopes that I'll be able to build a rocket ship when I reach the top and shoot on up to Mount Olympus on Mars.  But the official sign up is to try and knock out 100 more of my very own books that just happen to be in gigantic piles of TBR books stacked up around my backroom. I don't have a TBR shelf. Oh, no. I have "Mount TBR"...possibly a whole mountain range.
