For 7 months I have been doing this reading list/TBR list and I truly have been loving it. I admit there are times I have strayed but I have had valid reasons and one was because of NYCC (which I just got back from). But other than that I feel like I have been sticking to my plan and it has been a lot of fun. I didn’t read a lot of books in September (although I am about 40% through Scars Like Wings) but I read what I needed to and I’m happy with it.

Here is a look at how September went for me:

October is a different kind of month for me. I decided a while ago I was going to read romance books so my TBR list consists of only those. Since I am posting this late I hate already read 2 on the list and have started the third. Here’s hoping I can make a good dent on my Goodreads challenge.

I have made it 6 months doing a TBR List and I’m still really enjoying myself. August was pretty good since it was ARC August. I read a good amount of ARCs I have been meaning to read or was really excited for. I did read one book that was not on my original list since it was Becoming by Michelle Obama and I had been on hold at the library for a million years. And I reread Anna and the French Kiss because it was my 40th birthday and that book fills me with love. And I did have one DNF. But all in all, it was a good reading month.

Here is a look at how August went for me:

For September I plan to read two New to Me books since I didn’t get to the August one because I was reading mostly ARCs and Becoming changed my plan a little. I am also reading some books I need to for something that is happening in October (more to come on that soon!!!!). I’m about halfway through with one of these on the list and it is a lot of fun.

This is month four of my TBR list making. In March I tried categories and it was a bust. So when April rolled around I went back to something I haven’t done in a long time, a list of actual book titles. That seemed to work and I had a lot of success with it. At the beginning of each month, I create a new TBR list and  I have been reading based off those books and I’m kind of loving it.

Here is a look at how June went for me:

June wasn’t the best for me in terms of the number of books read, but I’m okay with that. I read two fantastic books, A Heart So Fierce and Broken and Field Notes on Love, so that makes up for not reading as many as I would have liked. (Side note: I am about 40% done with The Best Lies)

My July reading list has me super excited! There seems to be a royalty theme going on and I don’t hate it. But what I’m really excited for? Vow of Thieves by Mary Pearson which will be my next book after I finish The Best Lies. And the “surprise book” listed is a book that I may read but I don’t want to say anything in case I hate it and it disappoints people. HA

This is month three of my TBR list making. In March I tried categories and it was a bust. So when April rolled around I went back to something I haven’t done in a long time, a list of actual book titles. That seemed to work and I had a lot of success with it. Figured why not and tried it for May. May was also a success. If you don’t believe me, take a look:

Okay so it is a little deceiving since I DNFd two of the books, but I completed 8 of them and finished the long book I was reading in April. To me, this was a success and in the grand scheme of things that’s all that matters.

Since this seems to be working it is time to share my June TBR. This one is a tad different because I have two wild card categories. The reason for this is I’m hoping to get a couple of books I requested this month and if I do they will slide right into those spots. So not really wild cards since I know the titles, but I don’t want to get my hopes up too much. We shall see.
