Welcome to Litsy!

Checked my progress on my Goodreads challenge and feeling good about 2019 so far. I had postpartum depression last year and didn‘t read as much as I wanted but I‘m back in the game now!

Yay!! I finished my Goodreads reading challenge for 2019. We‘ll see what my grand total ends up being...
#readingchallenge

This is my updated challenges list. Let‘s see what the rest of the month and December bring.

This is the third year I am doing #Booked2019 and I invite you all to join me. It‘s how I reduce my TBR and how I read books I haven‘t heard of and genres outside my wheelhouse. It‘s how the book nerd has FUN. Go to the pages of @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage or @4thhouseontheleft to find how to sign up!

Here are the challenges for November...let‘s have some fun. Thanks to @Purrfectpages for the graphic 😊

Since it‘s almost the last quarter of the year, I figured I should update my challenges on here:
#mmdchallenge - 12/12 ✅
#readingwomenchallenge: 23/26
#ReadHarderChallenge 21/24
#Booked2019 17/24 (I‘ve been sticking to the schedule so all but one I won‘t start til October).
I was wondering if we think Next Year In Havana counts for Historical Romance by AOC for #readharder, because if so, That one is done too!

Thanks to @Purrfectpages for the great collage! Some fun photo challenges for September! 😊

#RedRoseSeptember
#SoulSeptember
#SelfImprovementSept
#QuotsySept19

We begin with this challenge on September 1st 😃
Anyone who wishes to participate is more than welcome.

#BookAWeekChallenge

#20booksby2020 progress. Four down. I just need to stop mood reading.

I didn't put my results for week 5 and 6. And there is a reason :
Week 5: I didn't run. First 2 days was a bit down. Then on Wednesday went to a concert and the rest of the week went to countryside. I did walk a lot and close all activity rings. this is a picture is from those days.
Week 6: Got sick and was in bed with fever. Now I am better and ready for round 3
The good think is that I read 10 books that is the double than my goal

Here‘s an update for #booked2019 - I‘m also currently working on the Ireland & genrebusting prompts with Great Irish Tales of Horror (Ireland, obviously) and Flora & Ulysses (genrebusting). Also, between work and spending time with my mom, I‘m only at about an hour for #24b4Monday & I have no idea how much more I‘ll be able to get in this weekend but let‘s give it a shot🤷🏻‍♀️😊 (I‘m also awful about tagging challenge hosts consistently🤦🏻‍♀️)

I got a chance to update my challenge list. Here it is.

Friends, if you‘re entering challenges, don‘t forget that you must enter an actual link to your challenge post, not just your profile handle. If we can‘t see the actual post, we won‘t go looking for it on your feed and you may not win. #24in48

Are you participating in #BBRC ? See @LibrarianRyan ‘s page for details. It seems like it will be a lot of fun.

I will be tracking my progress here on goodreads.

Doing good towards my challenge, may need to change it
