January Monthly TBR & Challenge Updates

I can't believe 2018 has come and gone. I'm looking forward to a whole new year of reading and trying even more to mood read and not force myself to read things. In the new year, my goal is to read three books each month for a total of 36 books for the year. I want to read an Owlcrate book, a Netgalley book, and a mood read. So my listed TBRs might be pretty short.

My Tentative TBR for January:

• My Plain Jane by The Lady Janies [Owlcrate]
• Some Girls Bind by Rory James [Netgalley]

And now to close out my 2018 challenges!

My goal was to finish 10 series in 2018. I have a page that lists my current series: here.
Books read in a series this month: 4 (Saga Vol. 2, Saga Vol. 3, Saga Vol. 4, Saga Vol. 5)
Series finished this month: 0 (x) - Total for 2018: 6
Series started this month: 0 (x) - Total for 2018: 12
Series tally: 43 + 0 - 0 = 43 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 December, I read 9 backlisted books: Turtles All the Way Down, Food: A Love Story, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Saga Vol. 2, Saga Vol. 3, Saga Vol. 4, Saga Vol. 5, Saga Vol. 6. My total is 79 backlisted books read.
