I'm rolling over 7 books from my Summer TBR (3 of those rolled over from Spring). I wanted to do a fresh seasonal TBR for fall and I did not get that far. That's okay though. I'm planning out my TBRs for the next few months and have added a lot of these to those lists.
I hauled 11 books in August due to me reading Desperate Measures and needing to have the rest of the series on hand in case I want to read it. I do hope to read at least half the series before year end. I'm still sitting at 60% of hauled books read for this year. I have 33 unread (up 4 from last month) and still hope to get to 20 or lower at the end of the year.
I read 10 books in August.
My favorite blurb, as always: In 2022, I'm continuing to participate in the Words & Whimsy Reading Challenge (new challenge each month - September is "Rings of Power" theme). You sign up and are split into teams and finish books for points. They also have a mini game, photo challenge, and charity challenge to get points for your team as well.
So I still have a few books from my past few months' TBRs that I haven't read and I hope to keep them on the back burner for if I finish books in the upcoming months. However, I needed a fresh TBR and one that tackled some more of my goals for the year.
In August, I finished 10 books. I completed my Haul It challenge and I am one finished series away from completing my goal of 20 finished series (we'll ignore that if I complete my TBR, I will start 6 more series). September is set to be an insane month of work and kids' stuff, so I am giving myself a little grace here and hoping I can still finish 8 books, but won't kick myself if I don't!
2021 READING CHALLENGES: should be at 67%
Goodreads Challenge: 79/52 books - 151% COMPLETED 6/8
Series Challenge: 19/20 series - 95% AHEAD!
Netgalley Challenge: 16/13 books - 123% COMPLETED 6/8
Haul It Challenge: 30/30 books - 100% COMPLETED 8/23
I only hauled 9 books this month and I read 6 of those. So that is definitely a huge win. At this point, I have now hauled 72 books and read 43 of them. So I have read 60% of the books I have hauled and that's awesome! I said last month that I would love to be under 20 left unread at the end of the year and I'm currently sitting at 29 unread, so hopefully I can continue to read these books and hit that goal!
