Let me just say that my flabber is gasted!
107 books!
I never thought I would have read that many by this point in the year!
I thought back to what I’ve done differently and I have 2 things….
Beat the Backlist Challenge
This is the first year I’ve ever done this and I am SO determined. I think it had spurred me on!
Book plan
At the beginning of the year I started a book plan in my calender and wrote out which book I should read on each day to keep me on schedule, and it worked…..until it didn’t!!! I did have a break for a bit and mood read (I so needed it!) but now I am back on it…….for a bit anyways!
I’m lifting my glass of orange juice toasting for another 107 books so join me in raising your glasses!!!!
How many books have you read so far?

Wow, awesome job so far this year. 107 books is amazing.
I have read 65 books so far this year, with my Goodreads goal currently sitting at 100 books, though most years I end up changing it to at least 120-130.

Thank you! I’m amazed at myself!
I always slow down in the summer so don’t think I will get past 120….but we shall see!!😁

I think I tend to stay fairly consistent throughout the year, so I’m happy with where I am at the moment, especially considering how busy I’ve been this year.

I came to the conclusion I am a seasonal reader. Autumn and Winter I’m read, read, read but summer I think i do more so don’t have the time…..

That makes sense. In the winter it’s really cold so I just want to curl up with my books, and in the summer it tends to be really hot, so again I just want to curl up with a book.

You have read an amazing amount of books so far! I am glad that a schedule helps to keep you on track. I do the same, but I only go a couple of months out at a time. 🙂
