The 2015 Bookish Resolutions Challenge hosted by A Reader Lives A Thousand Lives and Because Reading is Better Than Real Life.
Every month on the 30th I will be doing my recap of that month. You can check out my goal post here. I finished all my goals, beside the first one which I failed early already. So for the remaining few months we’ll see how much further I can get.
October Recap
Accept no more than 1 book with a deadlines each month.I failed this one in february already. Even though I fail this goal in the first few months I am doing better not accepting as many deadline books anymore.- Read at least 3 (cozy) mysteries. Made this goal as well! I got into the cozy mystery books this month and read 3 cozy mysteries and 2 mysteries so far this year. Below the books I read for this goal:
- Flipped for Murder (Country Store Mysteries #1) by Maddie Day
- Deceptions (Cainsville #3) by Kelley Armstrong
- The Mine by John Heldt. It’s actually a bit of a crossover book with time travel and historical romance elements, but I thought the historical romance elements where prominent enough to count it as historical romance.
- In for a Penny by Rose Lerner, which was a lot of fun.
- Palace Secrets by Ravyn Rayne, which was okay and didn’t have much focus on the historical aspect.
- A Lady’s Guide to Skirting Scandal (The Lords of Worth #2.5) by Kelly Bowen, was fun and original and I’ll be reading more of this author her books.
- Immersed (The Clockwork Siren #1) by Katie Hayoz, this was one was very enjoyable. Great historical setting!
- Submerged (The Clockwork Siren #2) by Katie Hayoz
I only made one bookish goal and that was to read at least 100 books this year. I’m at 80 so far so I think I’ll make it. And it sure looks like you are doing well with your goals.
You still have two months left so hopefully you manage to reach your goal!
woohoo for 67 books, grats on beating your goal, i am close to beating mine
Those 67 are the review copies I read this year so far, in total I have read 94 books this year, so I am hoping to reach the 110 at the end fo the year. Then I would’ve doubled my goodreads challenge goal. Good luck with reaching your goal!
YAY! you are doing so great! I am so happy you made some of your goals! That is amazing. I think I finished 1 for sure and 1 I think 🙂
The one I failed I can’t win anymore and the others I did reach my goal, so that’s good. Now I am just counting to see how far I will get. I hope you’ll reach your goals too!
