It is really slow going with this challenge, it doesn't help that most of the books I have for this challenge are print and time is limited for them. That said I only have 16 more to go and 4 months to read them in, so it shouldn't be too bad to squeeze them all in.

August is over and in my book so is summer. Time to start thinking about the coming of the holidays and busy season. August has already shown a little bit of a slow down in my reading and it probably only get worse from here, but the good news is I have completed 3 of my 8 challenges and will most likely complete 2 more this month (I think I need to pay a little bit of attention to my own equine challenge, I haven't checked that one recently).  I am in high hopes that this will be the year I complete all my challenges plus win a Nanowrimo. 

 

My Goodreads book count stands at 234 of my final goal of 260, I like the odds of completing that challenge with flying colors as well!

 

 

How are your challenges going? Have you started completing challenges? Are you starting to plan next year's challenges yet (because I am)?
