Another four months have passed, so let’s check in on my progress! At my last update, I had only finished four books out of the twenty-six. I feel much more on track now.

Recap to Date

Books finished since previous update: 11, putting challenge total at 15/26.
Picture books read: 11 (Q through Z). Challenge complete! See my Complete Picture Book A to Z post.
Books currently reading toward challenge: 2 

  • Of Blood and Bone by Nora Roberts (hardback, owned)
  • Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu (audiobook, Libby)
Recommended titles: Donut Fall in Love by Jackie Lau was a fun romance comedy. In the Hall with the Knife by Diana Peterfreund is a teen murder mystery with nods to the Clue game and movie. Will definitely be reading the sequels. 

Am I On Track?

Books read to date: 15
Books still to read: 11
Pages read to date (counting main challenge only): 4304
Pages still to read: 3631
Two-thirds through the year, but only 54 percent through the pages, a little higher if you go by total books. I think I read all the short books early and still have some heavy hitters to go. I do feel more confident than I did at the last update. I read 11 books this last four months, and that’s how many I need for the rest of the year. Currently reading six non-challenge books. Once I get those done, I can get refocused. I can do this!
