Hi Guys,
It’s time for another update of one of the Reading Challenges I’m doing this year, the Goodreads Reading Challenge. I think most of us are doing this challenge. I posted my First Update last April and I was quite proud of how I did with my reading during the first quarter of the year. I was 19 books ahead of schedule.
Ha!!! That was a good one.
This past 3 months though, I was kinda behind on my reading. Check this out!
Yep, I’m still ON TRACK, so it’s still good. And I think 102 is still a huge number. What, you may wonder, happened to my reading? Well, most of you know this, but I’ve been writing. There’s that… and also, I’ve read disappointing novels these past couple of months and usually when I stumble upon a story I don’t enjoy, I lose my appetite. Yeah, because words are food for me…
Thankfully I’m currently on a Semi-Reread Phase so I’m pretty hyped with the books I’m reading. Semi because I’m also on a Contemporary-Craving Phase. And that my friends is very surprising, I haven’t been into Contemporary since 2016…I mean sure I read contemporary in the past year and months but I don’t love them that much. Not caving for it. My hunch is it’s because of the Hating Game that’s why I have a new-found love for Contemporary. I really love that book. So adorable.
Okay, bye, bye for now. Hope I can do better the next three months so in my next update, I’d be like 20 books ahead of schedule. Lol. I don’t think I can do that. 🙂
And by the way, how are you guys doing on your reading this year? Any new favorite book? Least favorite? Anything you can recommend to me?
Let’s chat…
102?! Amazing progress! Don’t know if i can do that in a year 🙈

Thank you Norrie… 🙂 🙂 My only concern this year is reading and writing so it’s easy for me to read that much. Still, happy reading to you. 🙂

Holy crap! I’m so impressed. My goal is 25. Ha! Even if you don’t read another single book, you’ve done better than I have. 🙂 Good luck with 200 though! If you’ve done 102 so far, you can totally hit 200.

Thank you… and ahm the reason why I can read that much is also because I’m currently jobless. hehe.. I’m focusing on writing these days. 🙂 And goodluck to your challenge as well.

102 is fab! I’m on track too but I seem to slow down reading in summer months and then pick back up in Autumn…..I must be a weather reader!
LikeLiked by 1 person
Hehe… I’m like that too, now that you mentioned summer, it might be one of the reason why I read slower last quarter, I lived in the Philippines and our Summer was April and May. 🙂
Anyway, have a great summer. 🙂

Oh my God… I’m sorry to hear about your cat,,, I can only imagine how hard it is for you.. I don’t have pets but I had when I was little. it was a puppy but it didn’t die, it’s gone missing… I still think of it sometimes.
—Hope you have such great reads to make you happy somehow. 🙂 ❤️❤️

Thank you so much, I’ve had a lots of pets over my lifetime, but this is the first one I really lost. In the past I was either forced to give them up, they were picked up, or they wandered away. Plus I was even closer with this one than I was with most of the others, I watched him be born when his mother when she was scared into labor because of lightning, I had him from the day he was born to the day he died, he was my best friend.

Again condolences. ❤️💜❤️
