heh yes i did. but i only have 48 books on my list here, I'm a little behind updating here, but it's updated on goodreads and storygraph.

ooh, good luck with your themed challenge!

[Kaderin Triste]

Phew, finally got my list on here updated. Increased my goodreads goal to 70 just because, though I don't know if I'll quite make it.
Should be able to finish at least one more today.
And thanks, I thankfully knocked out the hardest categories (for me) already so it's just stuff like "author's last name starts with 'j'" or "book by a native author".

[trystan830]

oh those categories sound like fun -_-

maybe over the weekend I'll get my list here updated. :)

[Kaderin Triste]

I should take a pic of the challenges. They're actually pretty fun...mostly. I had a hard time with some of the non-fic type options like "current events" and "business, marketing, or entrepreneurship". But it definitely was good for getting me out of my reading comfort zone and trying new stuff.

Only 4 more to go for the challenge! Still cutting it kinda close (especially with last-minuteChristmas projects to make), but I should be able to finish them.

oh yay! i really need to update my list, and sig - I'm reading book #60 for this year! one of these days.....

[Kaderin Triste]

Here's the reading challenges we had!


Down to 1.5ish books to go in a little over 20 days. And thanks to audiobooks and last minute gift making (turns out audiobooks at 1.7x speed plus a knitting pattern with an easy-ish pattern repeat is the best way for me to actually pay attention to the book), I think I'll make it.

[trystan830]

oh wow, very cool!
i... still need to update my list. *sigh*
I'm reading book #61 right now - Star, by Erin Hunter

[Kaderin Triste]

I swear, updating our lists is literally the hardest part of the reading challenges. xD

[trystan830]

lol, yes it is.
i'll get there, i promise.

[trystan830]

i updated my sig and my list of books! I'm currently reading book #64! and that's probably my count for 2024.

i do plan on hosting this again next year, so.... watch this space.

[Kaderin Triste]

I was about 4 hours if an audiobook away from actually finishing my 50 book challenge, but just couldn't get motivated to actually finish it. xP
I thiink I still have to slightly update my list on here, but I definitely hit my GR and here goal with a solid 71 books.

[trystan830]

i finished my last book of 2024 on December 30th - Now or Never by Janet Evanovich.

i need to post up the new 2025 challenge in the next day or so, promise! :D

[trystan830]

tada!
new thread!

and it's linked in my sig - the word "reading"
and i have a book finished already! XD
