October was a busy month.
In addition to working towards my year-long challenges, I also took part in Fraterfest (even though it was a bit of a disaster), October Blog Ahead (which resulted in 10 scheduled posts, not 31) and the Get Your Shit Together challenge (I definitely failed to get my shit together).
I feel like for most of the month I struggled to stay on top of things and ran from one fire to another but I still managed to read/listen to 8 books so I guess it wasn't a complete bust!
My favourite book of the month was Slaying Monster For The Feeble and my least favourite was Damage by Natasha Knight.

I'm almost finished with this one! I have the final book in the Paranormal PI Files to read and that'll wrap the challenge up nicely... And I may even exceed it! I have other Royal books I want to read before the year is out.

I still need to read more bad boys but I made progress so I'm happy!
Just wish the books had been better...
My total for the year goes to 39.
I may or may not hit 60 by the end of December but regardless I'll be happy for I've read a lot of backlist books this year and I'll be reading more before the year is out! My Read A Series In A Month selection for November is all backlist and if I succeed that'll be an additional 7! So yeah... Happy.

In October, I finished 1 audiobook so my total goes to 9.
I upped my original target from 5 to 10 and honestly? I think I'm going to exceed 10 before the year is out!
If I blogged 10 posts ahead, I would feel accomplished. I am never planned that far out.
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling seriously overwhelmed so getting some posts scheduled in advance has been soothing.
DeleteI think you did great(I wish I was able to read/listen to eight books every month). The royal reading challenge seems so fun. Hope you can surpass your goal. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy readings!

I'm hoping to hit 10 and then move onto the Bad Boy challenge. That's the one I'm going to 'fail' at this year. :(
DeleteI never join any challenges because I know I'll never keep up with them.
ReplyDeleteI've been seriously considering not joining anything except the Goodreads challenge (which I use to track what I've read) but we'll see.
DeleteI had fun with the Royal Challenge this year and you're kicking ass on it too! I enjoy challenges but I don't stress if I don't complete it as every book I do read is something off the TBR list!
ReplyDeleteA very good way of looking at it!
DeleteSo close to completing your royal challenge! Coincidentally, I just picked up Emma Chase's Royally Yours yesterday. The cover was updated (I prefer the previous cover but oh well) and to promote it the Kindle price dropped to just 99 cents. Hard to pass that up!
ReplyDeleteI nabbed that one too! Now I just need book 2 and 3 and I have the set to binge read. :)
DeleteWell done on your progress!
ReplyDeleteProgress is progress whether it be big or small :) Last month I was ahead of schedule with my posts and reviews, this month I seem to be just making them!!

I've had a horrible November for keeping on top of things. It happens sometimes. I'm catching up now! :)
