I decided to forgo monthly wrap-ups to do quarterly recaps this year, and I'm still not sure what I prefer. I know I skipped Q2 back in June/July, so I'm basically talking about half a year's reading in this post! I guess that doesn't really help me decide what I like more, haha. What do you guys think? What would you rather read?
BOOKS READ IN Q2 + Q3
Favorite books of Q2 + Q3: Geekerella, Noteworthy, After I Do, The Names They Gave Us, and Invictus
I finally have full reviews to share! Trying to get back into the swing of things 💪 I wrote one for Geekerella back in July, one for Genuine Fraud last month, and one for Invictus on Thursday. I also added some ratings and thoughts on Goodreads for three books (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Big Magic, and Frazzled) if you're interested!

#RockMyTBR challenge (15/61)
I'm actually surprised at how many TBR books I've read since the end of March! Especially since I've only read 27 books so far. I added 21 books to my TBR this year (I started off at 211) and now it's at 215! That means I only have an addition of FOUR, which I could totally zero out by the end of this year. Now I'm getting ahead of myself, haha. I probably should've taken the buying/receiving of books into account before being ambitious and telling you all I wanted to lower my TBR pile to 150 😅 I don't know if I want to make any changes to this goal, we'll see how this last quarter goes and I can make adjustments for 2018!

Just letting you know, seven of your book cover pictures aren't showing up in your post! I'm not sure how to fix that but I just wanted to make sure you're aware! Anyway, thanks for this update :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Gia, thanks for letting me know! I'm not really sure what's going on, but I replaced the links so they should work now. Thank you again, and I hope you liked reading! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest, I've skipped SO MANY monthly recap posts this year because they've just felt so tedious. I told myself I'd do seasonal/quarterly ones but that hasn't happened...I guess I'll just have to do a massive one at the end of the year lol. Anyways, I'm glad to see you enjoyed After I Do, it's one of my fave TJR books!
