Well, here we are... September 5th. Time to check-in with Erin for her current book challenge.
To be perfectly honest, I really thought I'd be finished with this challenge by now (the first round anyway), but I'm not. In fact, I still have two books to go to complete the first round. I admit, I have been in a major reading slump and my reading last month reflected that. I read one book in August. One. Uno. One singular, solitary book. For a gal who averages 6-7 books a month, last month was quite an anomaly. I blame it on a combination of watching the Olympics, going back to work, and having a lot of things on my mind that I needed to work through. Oh, well... it happens, right?
Without further ado, here is my current standing in the Book Challenge by Erin 5.0.

Are you participating in Erin's challenge? If so, how's it going? Have a good one!
You're doing so much better in Erin's challenge than I am! I've just been so busy that I haven't had much time to read either! Hopefully we'll both pick it up over the next two months!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Fortunately, I got a great start early on and that helped. I'm currently working my way through The Nightingale and after that I have one more - the book that is 100+ years old category (which I'm kind of dreading actually). It may take me a month to get through that one (Adventures of Huckleberry Finn).
DeleteYou and I both tackle a lot of reading challenges. I keep anticipating me hitting a reading slump sooner or later. That being said, you are still doing quite well and should finish it without a problem.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will finish the first round. Achieving "elite reader status," or whatever you called it by finishing both rounds, well... that I don't know about this time. I think the universe is telling me to deal with some stuff and quit escaping into books like I typically do. We'll see. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteNearly there! You're miles ahead of me!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to do better this month now Megan's challenge is over - I finished my historical fiction book yesterday!
Yes, I'm 2 away from finishing the first round! I can do this! I can do this! Right now, I'm not sure if I will continue and participate in the bonus round. I haven't decided. Thanks for stopping by!
