Of course I'll let you know how well I did at my end of September post!
So, this month I didn't quite reach my goal of 11-20 comments, I think I only got 8 in. I had an awesome partner though, but I think she ended up like me having too much going on to get all of them done. I still enjoyed checking out Marilag's posts at Story and Somnomancy during August. She even tagged me for a post that I need to do pretty soon! I'll miss not having this challenge the rest of the year, but will look forward to hopefully participating again next summer.
My August post had to do with the books that everyone loves, but I just couldn't get into. You can go chime in on the discussion if you want: I'm Yes Then I'm No, I'm In Then I'm Out - Or The Beloved Books That I Just Couldn't Seem To Love.
Only one new to me book this month:
- Poison Princess (The Arcana Chronicles #1) by Kresley Cole
Nothing from my TBR pile this month. Guess I'd better work at rectifying that!
I got one, although not sure why I didn't include it in last month's wrap up post as I actually did it then. But I'll share it now! My score is still 70%.
- Wake the Hollow by Gaby Triana
Okay, let's see how I did about completing this challenge. I needed 10 more, but I only got 5 from the list done. However, since the goal was basically to read 20 books this summer, I've added 5 more that weren't on my list to complete the goal.
- Ink and Bone (The Great Library #1) by Rachel Caine - Review to come in September - didn't get to book 2 yet
- The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich - Review to come in September
- Finding It (Losing It #3) by Cora Carmack
- Wake the Hollow by Gaby Triana
- Pure (Covenant #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
- Play (Stage Dive #2) by Kylie Scott
- Too Many Rockstars by Candy J. Starr
- Leveled (Saints of Denver #0.5) by Jay Crownover
- Built (Saints of Denver #1) by Jay Crownover
I've got a couple to share this month!
- Finding It (Losing It #3) by Cora Carmack
- Asa (Marked Men #6) by Jay Crownover
Very quick, short, short version!
- Still keeping up with not downloading from Edelweiss and Netgalley.
- Still posting every day.
- Didn't meet comment goal for challenge, and not as great with commenting once school started back up this month.
- End of month post - check!
- Still getting at least 2 reviews a week, although I'm still behind on reviews, I have at least 12 books sitting in a pile waiting to have reviews completed and posted, so may bump up to doing more than one review a day on review days, or combining them on days with other posts, just to try to get back on top of that.
- I had money saved, but have had to pull from it a couple times to make it through the month, well, for things not necessarily needed. But I did get my carpet cleaned, and that was necessary. Haven't done much with my new laptop. Probably need to make that a goal.
- Walking goal of three times a week wasn't met every week, but I did get at least 2 per week. Being back in school has totally messed with that. Had to get a new Fitbit, so am enjoying that as well!
