2025 #Audiobook Challenge - .65/75+. Failure. 

Close but no cigar. I just can't beat this challenge. :/ 

Here is my first audio of the year vs. my last audio of the year

Cloak and Dagger Reading Challenge - 26/16-25 books. Success.

TECHNICALLY, I read well over 25. I just stopped counting them. I was on a mystery/thriller kick this year. I think (if I do this one again) I may up the number ;) 

2025 #TBRChallenge - 12/12. Success.

OVERALL:

I pretty much accomplished all my reading goals! I fell a little shy on the audiobook challenge, but it was close. I could try it again next year, but we'll see. 

Good year overall! 

Reading Challenges Update (July - end of September)

Happy October!!!

Let's do an update from July to today. Oct-Dec is our last push to finish our goals! 

Goodreads -  Read 100 out of 140 books. Fell a wee bit behind because of my vacations this summer/spring. But we'll catch up. The holidays are always great reading times!

Romance Reading Bingo - Only 4 boxes left to check! 

2025 Library Love Challenge - Summer Semester (May 1st - Aug 31st). 14/12 books. Went over! Yayy! Per the math we saved $140.40. 

- Autumn Semester (Sept. 1st – Dec. 31st). 2/12. Doing alright. 

2025 #Audiobook Challenge - 42/75+ books. Eeeee. Not sure if I'll be able to beat this goal. This was an ambitious goal for sure, but I wanted to try! Might have to shove in some short stories to help get to at least 75. 

Cloak and Dagger Reading Challenge - 26/16-25 books. Yayy! went over the total. Next year I may go up a level.

Here is the bonus book...#26 ;)

2025 #Audiobook Challenge - 30/75+ books. Doing okay. 40% done. Not quite at halfway there at this stage in the game.
