I am participating in four challenges this year. Here is my monthly (and year-long cumulative) update. Note: If you would like to see what books I’ve read for the challenges, please friend or follow me on Goodreads!
UPDATE:
I had a good August, finishing eleven books. That’s the most I’ve read in one month since March. I fit in a couple 200 page print/ebooks which helped the count, especially since I only finished three audiobooks. But also, I really liked the books I was reading, so I read more. Funny how that works. I also got my first BINGO for that challenge. How did you do in August?
