Goodreads Reading Challenge Update

by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment on Goodreads Reading Challenge Update

Since we are in June (wtf) I figured it was a good time to check in and see how I’m going with my reading challenge and stats for the first half of the year. At this stage I have only completed 29 books and Goodreads says I am 14 books behind schedule if I want to complete the challenge whereas last year at this time I had already completed 67. I am honestly not that worried about completing the reading challenge, even though in the 4 years I’ve been on Goodreads it would be a first. I am just trying to get out of this reading slump I’ve been in for the majority of 2021. I think I am on the tail end though and I am getting more and more in the mood to read so fingers crossed for that! So far this year I have completed 9747 pages as opposed to last year where I had already read 27,598! So yeah I have some catching up to do, but I have some really good books on my TBR and I am excited to get stuck in and read!

Library Update

It’s been a few months since I’ve done a library update so I figured now was the time! I have been really trying to utilise the library more this year and consistently borrow books that I’m interested in but not willing to buy. I currently five six books on loan from the Library: The Obelisk Gate & The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin, The Gilded Ones by Namina Forner, Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales. I have yet to read any of these books but I am very excited by my current selection!

May TBR

Just like last month I am going to listing all the books I really want to read right now and then throughout the month I will just be picking books up at random hopefully when the mood comes over me. I am really going to try and read more this month and catch up on all my reading goals!

Feeling Slumpish!

by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment on Feeling Slumpish!

I just haven’t been in the reading mood at all for the last few weeks. I’ve been struggling to finish the various books I am in the middle of at the moment and I have no desire to pick anything else up. Its nearing the end of the month and I have only completed four books and all of them were under 300 pages and I am also 2 books behind on my Goodreads goal as well which I don’t think has ever happened to me before. There are soooo many great books I have on my TBR currently but the drive to actually pick them up and read them isn’t there. So what I have decided to do is just give myself a few days where I don’t even think about books, reading or blog posts, relax and let the groove come back in slowly. I know this slump isn’t going to last forever, I have these stages where I will fluctuate in and out of my reading habits and I guess I am happy it’s happening now at the start of the year as opposed to the end! So I don’t think there is going to be any posts for a few days, which makes me kind of anxious as I’ve never missed a day since I started this blog, but I am only human and I just have to let these things go. Hopefully you all are having a better reading month than me!

✨Witchlands Series Reread✨

I have to admit I am only about 10% of the way into Truthwitch at the moment. I am currently in a little bit of a reading slump but I am going to persist and hopefully have this book complete by the end of this week! I am soooooo happy to be back in this world and reacquainting myself with all the characters. I absolutely love Safi and Iseult and their loyalty and companionship they have found with each other. Once again I found there was a little bit of an info dump right at the start and it was a little jarring to get into but I am excited to see this tale unfold once again!
