Welcome to the third quarterly update for 2019!
I wasn't originally going to do these types of posts, especially since I am doing Stacking the Shelves posts. However, I want to update on my reading goals, favourite reads, etc. etc. There are categories below and you can see them there.I did a Quarterly Wrap-Up for Science Fiction and Fantasy Fridays so let me know which format of these you prefer since I'm trying out a couple different ways of doing that.

My Progress Thoughts:
I thought that because of ARC August, I would catch up on my NetGalley eARCs, but I'm still massively failing at that. Part of this is because I have mainly been listening to audiobooks to read and that generally means I don't clear those off. However, I'm starting to listen to my ARCs as audios so I can clear them off in that regard. I want to get back up to as high as possible with my ratio.
I'm trying to catch up on specific authors I have fallen behind on reading their novels (like Elise Kova) which also plays into the behind-ness on some of my reading challenges and goals. However, I am doing so well on reading Adult Novels because of Science Fiction and Fantasy Fridays! I have been trying my best to get that feature back up and running here on Books and Ladders and I'm glad that I have been able to (thanks audiobooks!).
I am behind on diverse novels, but not as behind as I thought I would be. I should be doing better and sticking to my 1:1 but I am happy with what I have done considering it was also a goal to read from my shelves. So we are making due.

Top 5 Reads
I liked the way that murder was discussed in this and how people were reaped. Also, math was a part of this and I didn't hate it????
It was a really great story that was about female empowerment, understanding how to take care of yourself, and knowing what it means to be broken.
I will say though this is a super slow burn romance and every time I wanted them to get it on, they did not get it on. So be prepared for that!
But it was a nice peek into the author's way of writing and get a taste of what else you can expect to read. I look forward to reading more from the authors!
A lot of really relatable poems and feelings in this one and I really connected to all of them.
