Well, here we are again. Time to take a look at my reading challenge progress!
Monthly Motif is a reading challenge hosted by girlxoxo.
September’s theme was animal, number, color, name. I really had no idea what to do with this one (it’s so broad!) but I ended up reading MCMLXXV by Joe Casey for this prompt.
October’s theme is tricks and trades. I’m trying to decide between finally reading Before the Devil Breaks You by Libba Bray and Hot Dog Girl by Jennifer Dugan.
I finished a total of 8 books in September, bringing me to a total of 113 books this year.
Popsugar hosts a reading challenge every year. You can find out more information on their website.
I had hoped that September would turn out better than August for this challenge, but nope. Another month with zero prompts checked off. (Oh well.)
Romanceopoly is a reading challenge hosted by Under the Covers and Peace Love Books.
Same with Romanceopoly! And for the second month in a row, I read no romance novels. Maybe that’s why I’m in a slump. Maybe I just need something cute and fluffy to bring me out of it.
This challenge is still on hold. I did, however, read a couple ARCs that needed to be finished:
- The Story That Cannot Be Told by J. Kasper Kramer
- The Vagina Bible by Jen Gunter, MD
How are you doing on your reading challenges? Do you have any recommendations for me? Let’s talk in the comments!

I finished two reading challenges earlier this year and am now just focusing on reading down my TBR (Goodreads TBR is at 76 books today…). I’m really looking forward to 2020 and new reading challenges, though; PopSugar’s reading challenge is calling out to me…
You’re doing a great job!

I don’t do challenges. I mostly read books for the book review I write for. That said, I am very impressed by the amount of reading you get done. You blew by 100 with three months to go. Nicely done.

I always have a few challenges going on over at Goodreads and Bookcrossing. One of my favorites (and I am on round three) is the Anti-alphabet challenge. Instead of looking for a book title that begins with a particular letter, the book title must not contain a particular letter. After doing the first two rounds (once in random order and then in alphabetical order (no A, no B, etc.), I decided to do the same thing with authors. Whether I finish this last round or not, it is fun to do it as I am reading. ~nan

That sounds like a really fun challenge! I haven’t heard of that one before.

I have finished my reading goal already but I do have 1 book left in one of my other challenges, to finish the vampire academy series, but I´m currently reading the last book so I will manage that challenge before the year ends 😀
