For the second year in a row, I'm taking part in the #ShelfLove Challenge.
The focus is on reading the books you already own - and I'm all about that!
The discussion topic for the mid-year check-in:
How are you doing with the challenge?
Look back at your January post and share your progress.
Look back at your January post and share your progress.
I started off the year strong - purposely choosing books that were already on my shelves (or my Kindle). But, somewhere along the way, I became distracted by all the shiny new releases and a few arc's and, well... it's time to get back on track. The goal I set at the beginning of the year was to read between 31-40 books this year that I already owned (before the start of the year). With the year almost half over, I feel like I should be a little further along in this goal. Sooo, time to get focused and get back to reading all the awesome books already on my shelves!
My #ShelfLove Challenge Progress:
If you're taking part in any reading challenges, how's your progress?
If I were apart of this challenge, I'd be failing miserably. Ugh this year is not going well for me, but I might catch up to make some sort of dent in my TBR. Hopefully. I hope the same for you too!
ReplyDeleteNot a good reading year? The worst. Maybe the second half will be better. I hope!
DeleteYou are doing so much better than me. I think I have read 5 maybe??? I need to do better. Good job!
ReplyDeleteYikes. Hopefully your goal is on the lower side? I have to *constantly* keep reminding myself to ignore the new stuff and focus on my shelves.
DeleteLooks like you got TSoT on there twice but what a great collection of books you read so far this challenge :) Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteOops, didn't notice that - will have to figure out how that happened at GR. Thanks Julie.
DeleteI'm a Dory reader too! :) Look a shiny new release! LOL! I actually read Making Faces because of the same reason. I already owned it. Ok now... get focused and read Making Faces. I want to know how you like it so badly ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Dory reader. :) Making Faces was nothing like I was expecting but I loved it anyway. I really need to get on the ball and write that review. (Along with a dozen or so others... )
DeleteI'm not doing great with my goals. Oh well. I blame it on the ARCs LOL.
ReplyDeleteUgh, sorry to hear it, Aleen, Those arcs can be so tempting!
DeleteI have been complete trash at reading my own books. When I am not reading review books, I am usually reading a library book. BUT, I will try harder. Good job by you though.

So many distractions! I feel like I did better at this last year. These new releases are definitely turning my head this year.
DeleteAhh this is so great! I feel like I'd be horrible at this because I get distracted so easily by all the new releases haha. <3 But GOOD LUCK, you have such good progress so far!
ReplyDeleteThanks Analee! Oh yeah, I've definitely been distracted by the new releases. But I try to keep reminding myself of all the pretties on my shelves that I'm dying to read. :)
