It’s been six months since I shared my Ultimate 2019 TBR (100 books), so it’s time to do the first check-in. I don’t think I’ve done the best job at sticking to this TBR, but I didn’t do quite as terribly as I thought I would.
ALREADY OWNED: READ 7/60 (yikes)
Well, I do openly admit that I’m pretty bad about reading things that I actually own. I hated a lot of the seven books that I read, but I did really enjoy The Rest of Us Just Live Here and Practical Magic.
UPCOMING RELEASES: READ 3/20
I have a lot to say about this section! Let’s see…
- I’ve removed We Contain Multitudes from my TBR since it just doesn’t sound like the kind of book I’d like
- I have an ARC of The Last Hope that I’ll be reading soon
- I’ve preordered both Rainbow Rowell books
- I got On the Come Up as a Book of the Month, so hopefully I’ll get around to it soon enough
- I’m currently reading The Music of What Happens, so I figure it counts as a book read, even though I haven’t finished it yet
BOOKS TO GET FROM THE LIBRARY: READ 6/40
The goal of this section was to check books out from the library, but it turns out that I’ve since bought more than one of these…
TOTAL: READ 16/100 (so far!)
I honestly thought that I would have read about three of the books from this list, so I’m not too disappointed to find out that I’m at least in the double digits. I checked out a few of these books from the library this week, so hopefully I’ll be crossing off a few more of these soon!
Did you make a TBR list for the year? If so, how are you doing? Have you read any of these books? Let’s talk in the comments!

You’re doing better than I am anyway!! I only made a TBR of 20 books I wanted to read this year.. I think I’ve read 6… It’s like as soon as I designate something: READ THIS YEAR, I’m not going to read it.

6 out of 20 is really good!

Wow, that’s great!
I’ve read about 19 so far, but most of those Animorph books (8 of my TBR that I finished this year) I can finish in a day or two. My TBR has rapidly changed this year, and I don’t really mark specific ones to read as my mood constantly changes, but I hope to set a reading goal next year.
Seems pretty pointless to make one now when its already almost July.

If you end up reading Symptoms of Being Human, let me know what you think. I just happened to come across it on Hoopla and listened to it, and it made me feel a lot of feelings. I really did like it. And this is awesome progress! Congratulations ❤

This is quite the TBR, I’m happy to see you got through a lot a bunch of them so far. I’m really bad about reading the books I own, too. I just picked up Love, Hate, & Other Filters from my library last week. I’m hoping to get to it before the end of the month.

I hope you like it! I said I wasn’t going to check anything out from the library this week, but then I did. 🤷

I make a TBR list for each month. I thought I was really pulling something off getting that accomplished. A whole year is definitely beyond my scope of possibility at this point, so I’d say you’re doing great!!!

That was a very fun post to read! I was so happy to see Stay Sweet on your TBR, I haven’t heard many people talk about it and it was one of my 5-star reads last year, I think about it often. I hope you like it if you get to it 🙂

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to read it since it was announced, so fingers crossed that the opportunity to read it so will come soon. 🙂
