May 2021 TBR & Challenge Update

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 :)

In 2021, I'm participating in Words & Whimsy Reading Challenge (new challenge each month - May is  Folk of the Air theme) and The Avengers Initiative Reading Challenge (a year long challenge). 

I killed it in April. I once again stuck to my TBR and read all of the books on it and I also read 5 that weren't on my TBR. I had a total of 3523 pages and 70 hr 22 min for finished books. My wrap up goes live on Monday morning. I am ahead in ALL of my yearly challenges that I set for myself. I also completed all the books on my seasonal TBRs. I had years of seasonal TBRs - SO MANY. And I finally am ready to start actually making actual new seasonal TBRs.

I was nervous last month about too many physical books on the list, but I did it. This month for Words and Whimsy, there are 8 criteria prompts. My plan is to read 114 pages per day to read them all. Last month, I averaged 190 pages per day, so I'm confident this month will go well. I will also say that the Words and Whimsy challenge has unlimited 5 points for any book by an author of Asian descent for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month - I have a ton of books by authors of Asian descent that I can read so if I finish my 9 books, I am going to try and tackle as many as I can to support these authors!
