Reading Challenge Update

Well, here we are again. Time to take a look at my reading challenge progress!

Monthly Motif is a reading challenge hosted by girlxoxo.

June’s theme was diversify your reading. This is my favorite monthly motif prompt. (We did it last year, too.) I ended up reading a ton of books for this one!

• Shutter, Vol.1 by Joe Keatinge
• Blue is the Warmest Color by Julie Maroh
• Technically, You Started It by Lana Wood Johnson
• The Music of What Happens by Bill Konigsburg
• Sea Prayer by Khaled Hosseini
• Slam: The Next Jam by Pamela Ribon
• Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker & Wendy Xu

July’s theme is through the years. I wasn’t really sure what I was going to read until I looked at The Lady Rogue and saw it’s set in 1930s Romania!

I read a total of 17 books in June, which puts me 36 books ahead of my goal.

Popsugar hosts a reading challenge every year. You can find out more information on their website.

I read three books that counted toward my Popsugar challenge in June:

• a book with an item of clothing or accessory on the cover
• a book written by an author from Asia, Africa, or South America
• a novel based on a true story

Romanceopoly is a reading challenge hosted by Under the Covers and Peace Love Books.

I finally feel like I’m making some progress on this challenge! I checked off four prompts in June.

The prompts I checked off were:

• leather lane
• freedom friars
• mystery #2
• library

Modern Mrs. Darcy hosts a reading challenge every year. You can find more information on the website.

I am very, very happy to report that I finished this challenge! I checked off the last two prompts in June, which were:

• a book published before you were born, and
• a book in translation

I made the executive decision to put this challenge on hold for the time being so that I can get caught up on library books and ARCs. I ended up knocking out a few ARCs that I needed to read in June:

• Queen of the Sea by Dylan Meconis
• The Escape Manual for Introverts by Katie Vaz
• She’s the Worst by Lauren Spieller
• Technically, You Started It by Lana Wood Johnson
• Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker & Wendy Xu
