Monthly Recap: July 2023

July 2023 Monthly Recap

I have a very ambitious reading goal this year, so I am trying my best to stay up to date on reading, my reading challenges, and staying on track. I am about 100 books behind based on Goodreads so I am not sure I'll meet it this year but I'm going to try.

I also didn't read throughout all of June and for half of May so that puts me super far behind. I was trying to just read to read rather than reading for fun. So now I am going to focus on reading the books I own (and that I have in my room, then going to my storage unit and reading those). I also need to catch up on audiobooks that I own since I was close to 100% read for audiobooks across all the platforms I have.

I plan on being more active and out of the house in August so hopefully I can do some vlogging!

Tell me about your month!

April 2023 Monthly Recap

I have a very ambitious reading goal this year, so I am trying my best to stay up to date on reading, my reading challenges, and staying on track. I got into a bit of a slump in February and am trying to catch up on that but it's hard when I'm still so many books behind!

I'm hoping to try and catch up over the next few months but I'm also okay with not hitting 340 books since that's a lofty goal for someone with a full-time job, a fiance, and a social life! I think I can probably crack at least 250 though, so I'm pretty okay with that.

I used April's designation as National Poetry Month to read some shorter collections and books, which brought me up to a total of 95 books read this year so far! That's an average of 24 books per month, which I feel good about since in February I only read one! At the end of this month, I am 18 books behind schedule, but having read almost 100 books in 4 months seems like a pretty amazing amount of books.

I also went to a LOT of events in April and have so many more ready for May! I can't wait to hang out with bookish people again and just be surrounded by those who read.
