September 2018 TBR

Jen

For this month I’m going back to what’s been working so well for me and that’s reading what I want, when I want. This is another overly ambitious TBR but I do like options!

As always my main priority is to finish my currently reading books and continue with my ongoing series. Especially as I’m currently working on re-reading the Throne of Glass series to be caught up in time for Kingdom of Ash!  

There have also been so many book to movie adaptations that have been piling up because I have this thing where I must read the book before I can let myself watch the movie. I finally watched a few of them and I really want to continue with that so I’ll just see which ones I’m in the mood for.

Currently reading

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (#6) by J.K. Rowling

Mr Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan

I'm keeping my TBR small this month. I need to get out of the slump, so I don't want to pressure myself into reading. So, one short book and an audiobook.

Hover by Melissa West
To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han (audiobook)

August 2018 Wrap Up

Jen

I tried doing the OWL’s readathon in August and as much fun as it sounded, I was reminded of exactly why I stopped participating in readathons. I have been relishing having the freedom of reading what I want, when I want. Having a set TBR and forcing myself to read books I didn’t want to just so I could meet a readathon challenge wasn’t working and I ended up abandoning the readathon halfway through. Overall a decent reading month but not my best. I mostly blame it on falling back into the evil trap that is Netflix!

I also didn't end up participating in the OWL Readathon. Everytime I picked up one of the books I'd chosen, I'd read a chapter and then move onto the next book. Thus, a slump. I read one chapter of around 5 books total, meaning I got zero books finished in August. After such a good streak in July! *sigh* I guess I'll just have to try to unslump in September.
