Thank you! Me too! :)

I fell a little bit behind in March, but I'm still happy with my progress being only 3 months into the year!

A third of the way through... a third of the way through the year. I def need to pick up the pace a bit! I keep getting distracted by those pesky library books and new releases!! 😅

Did a little bit of catching up this month, about 3-4 books per month for the rest of the year and I should nail it!

Read 4 of my books this month, so right on track to finish!

I also tackled an older GR giveaway book I'd been putting off for about 3 years so hurray!

I'm basically just right on track again. I do have an actual TBR for the rest of the year, though, that mostly consists of my *own* books, so I have high hopes to finish!

It did feel good to read The Heart of Betrayal this month – that one had been on my physical TBR since like 2016!

Mid-month check-in! Feeling very good about this challenge and getting so close! I have at least 2 other books of my own I'm hoping to finish before September's over.

Ended September at 31 out of 36! Feeling good about that number.

I finished!! Yay!

I don't know yet if I'll be bumping up to the next summit... I will still be trying to read a majority of my own books in the next couple of months.

Congrats!

Congrats on reaching the top, and with 2 months to go!

Congratulations on a great climb!!!
