Every year around this time, I do one of the posts. Last year at this time, I found myself at fewer than 100 by this time of year, with only two needed then to reach 100. This year, however, I have even fewer, not even at 90 yet. I'm slowing down even more than I realized. I now wonder when I'll reach the 100 mark this year.
As far as my challenge progress goes, I have already finished four, one back in February. I did a discussion post on that one then, but no one seemed to notice! It was this one, that only has nine categories.
Then three more finished this month alone:
Color Coded 6/2
The last one I needed to find was one for Brown. It seems that color is getting harder to find in titles. I attempted to look for this book, but to no avail. The Zip Books at the library is currently on hold, something unbeknownst to me when I attempted to order it that way.
What's in a Name 6/4
This was one was late in getting posted, and the last one I needed was for "Peace." I often finish this one early.
My Reader's Journey Bingo 6/25
I was surprised how fast I got this one done.
As always seemed to be true, there are several challenges for which I am one or two books short of completing. For Alphabet Soup Authors, however, I still need three more. I actually found an author whose last name starts with X, an always-challenging letter. I have a book by a Y author lined up as well. Still trying to find an O author. U is the only one I need for Alphabet Soup Titles, but I do have something planned for that one. For X on that one, I had to once again use something with X somewhere in the title.
How has your reading been so far this year?

Are you reading slower, or are you reading longer books? I know I have a harder time completing books when I'm not enjoying them. I hope you find lots of interesting books.
I’m doing well! My goal is 125, and I’m at 70, so I should meet it, no problem. Happy reading!
It isn't the number you read, right? It's how much you like your reading. But good for you to have read 100 (or just about 100) a books in 6 months.
You're still making wonderful progress, even if your reading pace has slowed a little. I hope you find the remaining books you need, especially those tricky Happy reading
I think it's amazing how many books you've read so far this year. Do you think you would read that many without the challenges you participate in?
I don't count how many books I read so I never know if I had read anywhere above 100 books. I don't do reading challenges either - I find they make it harder to read more books because you have to pick specific books to read. I hope you enjoy reading even if you can't finish the challenges.
Have a lovely day.
Lissa: I don't personally count them, Goodreads does:)
I'd love to see a list of the books you're using for these challenges in this summary :)
We'd also love for you to join our monthly book bingo!
