Blog All About It: it's CRUNCH time

This month's prompt is:  Crunch

This is going to be a stretch on the prompt for sure, but I think it fits.So please follow me through this. This is going to be a check-in on my book goals since we only have a few weeks left of the year. We are officially in crunch time mode!

It is September (what???? WHENN????) and the end of the year is creeping on us. SHOULD I START CHRISTMAS SHOPPING? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO BE FOR HALLOWEEN???? I AM TURNING A YEAR OLDER! BF AND I ARE CELEBRATING ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY! IT IS NEARLY 2020!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Okay...momentary freak out is over.....soooo it is CRUNCH time to get these challenges done. Only so many months left. So many days left....so many hours left. *hyperventilating with a smile on my face and a thumbs up* 

Here is where I am for the year with my challenges and goals:

Books overall: I am 3 books ahead at this current rate. So doing good, doing good. 

Audiobook Challenge: Goal is to listen to 30 this year 41!!!! Hot dang! Completed THAT challenge.

I had picked the Detective level for this which is 16/25 books. I am at 18. I hit the minimum of the goal! Now I'm gonna try and hit the 25!

Contemporary Romance Challenge: 13 left. No BINGOs so I need to get on this and get at least one Bingo. 

Historical Romance Challenge: 12 boxes left. I have one BINGO. WOOT. Hopefully I can get one or two more BINGOs.




 

Crunch time initiated! I think I am going to try and really focus on my BINGOs. I have some lined up that should fit the categories. I did get off base for a while with these. Can't help myself when there is a book that calls my name ;)

Good luck everyone in the last few weeks of 2019! IT IS CRUNCH TIME!!!!! WE CAN DO IT!

Goal Check for 2017
I always want to do fun little challenges but I know myself and I just need to focus on one thing. So for 2017 I just decided to work on my reading challenge of reading 100 books. 

I did it with time to spare. I did read a couple after the 100 books, but I am saving the reviews for 2018 since I wanted to focus this last week on other posts. I am proud of myself. 

Click here to view my 100 book challenge.

HAPPY 2018 BY THE WAY!
