August Monthly TBR & Challenge Updates

I'm so happy! July has been my best reading month of the year to date. I completed 3 of my yearly challenges in July: my Goodreads reading challenge, Beat the Backlist, and Travel Gnome! So now I need to concentrate on finishing series, reviewing my Netgalley books, and catching up on Owlcrate books. :)

My Tentative TBR for August:

• Brave Enough by Katie Gardener [Netgalley]
• The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead [NEWTs]
• Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead [NEWTs]
• Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead [NEWTs]
• My Fairy Godmother is a Drag Queen by David Clawson [NEWTs]
• Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi [NEWTs]
• The Apprentice Witch by James Nicol [NEWTs]
• Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend [NEWTs]

My goal is to finish 10 series in 2018. I have a page that lists my current series: here.
I removed a series from my list and should clarify that although I may read books in a series, I don't always decided to read the entire series.
Books read in a series this month: 11 (The Delphi Effect, Unwind, Heart of Iron, Truthwitch, Turbo Twenty-Three, Hardcore Twenty-Four, The Chocolate Cat Caper, Paper Princess, Broken Prince, Twisted Palace, Fallen Heir)
Series finished this month: 0 (x) - Total for 2018: 3
Series started this month: 4 (The Delphi Effect, Heart of Iron, The Witchlands, The Royals) - Total for 2018: 11
Series tally: 42 + 4 - 1 = 45 series in the middle of

My goal is to read 40 books published before 2018. I don't necessarily have a list for this.
In July, I read 14 backlisted books: The Delphi Effect, Unwind, I Must Say, By Your Side, History Is All You Left Me, Truthwitch, Yes Please, Turbo Twenty-Three, Hardcore Twenty-Four, The Chocolate Cat Caper, Paper Princess, Broken Prince, Twisted Palace, Fantastic Beasts, Fallen Heir. My total is 51 backlisted books read.
