2016 Reading Challenges: 3rd Quarter Update

My goodness!!!!! There’s only 12 weeks left in 2016 ? How did that happen?! The 3rd quarter proved to be just as busy if not more than the 2nd quarter for me. We moved about 1 week before the end of the 2nd quarter so July was spent settling in, August was spent starting Kindergarten and September is always busy for me. I’m sad to say I sucked at my goals this quarter. More on that in a minute….how did y’all do?

2016 Reading Assignment Challenge

For this challenge, you create a list of books that you commit to read throughout the year. You determine the number of books you will read per month and choose books from your list to read. It is hosted by Berls @ Fantasy is more fun and Michelle @ Because Reading. You can sign up anytime, but can only start the challenge for the month after you sign up (ex. if you sign up in Feb, you cannot count books read in January).

My Goals and Progress

My goal is to read 2 books a month (Reading Level 2) from the following list:

I made a “C” during the 3rd quarter, reading only 3 books off my list! Here are the books I decided to read:

• Defy by Sara B. Larson & City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
• The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski

This challenge is all about the new books of the year and of course reading them 😀 It is hosted by Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews. Oh My! and Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews.

My Goals & Progress

There are four levels in this challenge and I’m going for the 2nd level New Release Pro, which is 16-30 books. I think this is doable. I’m not sure of the actual number of new releases I read in 2015, but I know it was a good number, possibly more than 30 😉 During the 3rd quarter, I read 20 books:

2016 Blogger Shame Review Challenge

This challenge is for people like me, who have been blogging a while or life got busy and books got forgotten. I fall in the later. 2015 was not a good year for us and everything suffered. I’m ashamed to say that I have roughly 45 ARCs on my Kindle and another 3 or 4 hardcopies lying around to be read. Now not all of those qualify for this challenge, but several do. This challenge is hosted by herding cats & burning soup and Addicted to Happily Ever After.

My Goals & Progress

My goal is to read at least one old review book a month for a total of 12 by the end of the year. With this challenge I hope to get my Netgalley ratio above 80% which is doable. I’m currently sitting at 77%. Here are the books I’ve read during the 3rd quarter:

No Books 🙁

2016 Dystopia Reading Challenge

I think I may be the most excited about this challenge hosted by Tracy @ Cornerfolds and Claudia @ My Soul Called Life. It is NO secret that I LOVE dystopians. It’s a majority of what I read each year. So this challenge is right up my alley!

My Goal

There are four levels to choose from on this challenge and I’m going ALL IN!

I honestly do NOT think this will be an issue. There are so many good dystopians out there and a ton coming out this year. Here are the books I’ve read during the 3rd quarter:

• The Winner’s Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski
