I made some 2020 goals at the end of 2019 so thought I would check back in to see how I am doing and where I need to improve. You can see my original post here.
To be honest I was a bit scared to do this as I know I haven’t stuck to them but the good news is that I have 6 months to improve!
A) No arcs (only review teams I am on)
June 2020: Failed. I cant talk about it without welling up! ❌
B) No Netgalley requests
June 2020: Failed! But I didn’t request many so maybe a half fail! ❌
C) No reading lists
June 2020: Passed! *does happy dance* ✔
D) No challenges
June 2020: Well……I signed up for the Audiobook Challenge but I don’t count that as an actual challenge as I listen to audiobooks at work so would do it anyway! ✔
E) Try and read 1 book a week.
June 2020: I’ve read 54 books so far so passed! ✔
F) Get the joy of reading back!
June 2020: Yes and no! I’ve loved the books I’ve read but because I’ve totally failed at A and B its meant ive felt pressured again. When will I ever learn? ❌✔
So to sum up I need to lay off arcs and netgalley and keep on keeping on!!!
Did you make any goals?
How are you doing?
Well yes as in ease up on the ARCs and this month ….no ARC at all!

So awesome that you met your goal of reading one book a week!! It can be so sluggish when you’re feeling obligated to read, so I totally get wanting to get back into it simply for fun instead of feeling pressured (: Hope July brings you lots of great books! 🥰

This is so true, I need to cut back on those arcs as they just push me into a slump and I am so fed up of those!!! Thank you so much ❤
