Thanks.

Alondra wrote: "You sure did have a great month. Kudos Anne!!"

Thanks. I got a lot read, but the quality wasn't the greatest. One very hyped book (Harrow the Ninth) was a big dud for me. I'm hoping I enjoy the remaining books this year much better.

That really takes the pressure off."

It does. For the last 3 months, it leaves fewer challenges to worry about. When I have too many left, it can feel a little overwhelming.

Although I didn't read quite as much in August as I did in July, I still got through a lot of books. I am making progress on most, but not all, of my challenges. I have a few library books to read, and then I need to focus on reading my own books to finish those neglected challenges.

Absolutely. I've read lots of non-fiction and mysteries, but I've been neglecting most of the fantasy books I've been eager to read. There's still plenty of time left this year to read other books, though.
