READING UPDATE: 9AM I have not done the best with updating daily with my thoughts. It's been mad busy lately. I'm going grocery shopping later today, which means I'll listen to my audiobook. I'm hoping maybe I can finish Fumbled today, but we'll see. I was able to get to the Twitter chat for a little bit yesterday after missing Monday's (which is usually the one I jump in on).
 ------------------------------------------
[FINISH LINE]

TOTAL: 989 pages  + 4 hr 10 min // 3 books finished

FINAL THOUGHTS: Another successful BOB in the books! For as chaotic as I feel it is for me right now, I cannot believe I read 3 books (on my Kindle!) and was able to listen to a good chunk of an audiobook while putting in the most study hours I have in the last 2 months! I met my goal of reading every day, participating in a chat, and cheerleading!

April Book Haul

April Book Haul | Check out the books I hauled this month #bookhaul
 
April was a very small book haul month because we were so busy packing and moving. I made up for that already in May. Whoops. LOL I have read all of my library books but not my Kindle book. I'm not sure I'll get around to it any time soon either. I spent absolutely no money on books this month! Go me :)

Bout of Books 28 [Goals + TBR]



It's time for BOB readathon once again. I am participating for the 25th time! Bout of Books 28 runs May 11 to 17 and is hosted by Amanda and Kelly. I am going to try and update on Twitter and Goodreads. My goals are the same as always. I am working on my Masters program but I have been able to read a good amount each month, so I hope I can finish maybe 1 book next week. I will definitely work on my current reads, but if I start something new, it'll be from the tentative TBR.

[GOALS]
**Read a little every day
**Participate in one Twitter chat
**Be a cheerleader!

[TENTATIVE TBR]
  • This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab
  • This is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp

Interested? Sign up here!

May TBR & Monthly Challenge

Monthly TBR and Challenge Update | The post where I share what I plan to read and how badly I'm doing on my yearly reading challenges :)

Spoiler alert: my tentative TBR for this month is the same for the Bout of Books TBR that you will see in a few days because the next Bout of Books readathon starts on May 11th! :) I read 6 books in April and although I started off kinda rough with how I felt about those, the month finished off on a really strong note. I hope I can read at least 3 books in May (we have a lot of dr appointments - not anything crazy or wild). I'm only 2 books away from meeting 50% of my Goodreads goal!

My Tentative TBR for May:
  • This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab
  • This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp

2020 READING CHALLENGES: should be at 33% 
Goodreads Challenge: 23/50 books - 46% AHEAD!
Series Challenge: 1/10 series - 10% BEHIND!
Netgalley Challenge: 7/12 books - 58% AHEAD!
Owlcrate Challenge: 0/12 books - 0 BEHIND!
Owlcrate Jr Challenge: 0/6 books - 0% BEHIND!
 
What are you planning on reading in May?
