November 2019 Update for Yearly Challenges

 

I’m going to keep this a bit shorter today since my hand and wrist are bothering me.  I just wanted to update how I’m doing on my challenges since November ended.

 

Goodreads:  11 in November  155/100

2019 New Releases:  4 in November   120/50

Wrap Up for November’s TBR and Beyond Challenge “Bad Boys, Bad Boys”

 

Somehow, I was able to move books around that I read and finished two ropes for our challenge.  I honestly thought I would maybe fill one, so I’m pleasantly surprised.

The November Challenge was pretty easy.  We had prompts to follow a rope up to a “Bad Boy”.   I had to stretch a couple a bit, but I think they all fit ok.

TBR and Beyond’s December 2019 Challenge “Dobby’s Holiday Bash”

 

I think this month’s challenge is so freaking cute!  Who doesn’t love Dobby?  You can join the event HERE.  You must be a member of the TBR and Beyond facebook group.  I hope you join us.  The group just hit over 5000 members and it’s always a lot of fun.

October 2019 Update On My Yearly Challenges

 

I honestly cannot believe it’s November.  I probably say this every month, but time just flies.  I’m doing well on my challenges and should complete the last one this month.  I hope to join in more next year and maybe increase my goals.

 

 

I read 3 books by Asian authors in October.  My goal was 11 for the year.  New Total:  17/11

September 2019 Yearly Challenge Updates

 

I’m still horrible with updating these on the pages they’re supposed to be on, but I am remembering to write them down each month.  So I guess that’s something.  I’ve already met most of my goals, but not all.

 

I read thirteen 2019 releases in September.  New total:  106/50

Wrap Up For TBR and Beyond’s September 2019 Challenge

 

Just a quick update on how I did with September’s challenge.  When this was first announced, I had a lot of arcs to read, so I was thinking I would only get 3 of the 5 done.  But somehow I was able to fit 5 of my books into the categories.
