2018 Reading Challenges Update


As I mentioned in my previous post earlier today, you now get a second post.  Lucky you right? ;) 

This is to catch up with Blogtober and make up for not posting yesterday. I am in my little box of shame and promise to not fall behind again.


2018 Reading Challenges 


Time to bring you all up to speed again on my reading challenge progress so far this year.

I signed up to take part in both the A to Z Reading Challenge (adult and kidlit versions), and the Beat the Backlist Reading Challenge this year, and although I have been reading, I've not been all that good at updating my progress on the various sites.

      Me too. I have a few of them already on my TBR but some letters are harder to find than others.

    Right now my GR Challenge says that I have only read 30 of 50 books!
    All LIES of course.
    We all know that I have read waaaaaaaaaaay more than 50 book and am just too lazy to put the reviews up! LOL. Keep up the great reads.

      haha I know what you mean. The struggle is real. I?m not sure I'll have my TBR under control. I always end up getting more books before I read the ones I already have.

      Life has a habit of getting in the way sometimes but I enjoy the reading challenges. Even if I don't reach all my goals for the challenges I find they still motivate me to read more throughout the year.
