Made decent progress!! July Goal ➺ 6 books + 21 rollover
July Actual ➺ 10
Rollovers are not down to 17!! Woohoo!!
I did a terrible job with this one. I got stuck on a Chance roll and couldn't make the book fit. Well, I guess I could have but I sort of forgot 🙄
Well, after making progress in May, not so much in June. Goal was 7 plus 18 rollover. Read 4 so now I'm back up to 21 rollover!! 😯
A better May... Goal 8, Read 10, Rollover down to 18 - woohoo!

A very bad month :-( Read 3... my rollovers are now 20!
I feel I am doomed 😲
I read 10 in March which was the goal for March... but I still have all my rollover from Jan-Feb to read - 14... plus April goal! Will I ever catch up?
I feel like I'm doing good at 3 so far... but I need to pick it up if I want to finish mid-year!!
I can't remember from last time - if we 'accidentally' read one of our books before the # is called, we can replace it with another... or we uh, need to be be careful about reading books from the list we create?

Yeah, I did the math and 7 is certainly the magic number!
I found a couple of cat shifter books that are tagged already on my tbr, so I may try them. But from the first few pages of the shelf, I think I'll read Ghostly Paws. Also, Lion in the Valley (Amelia Peabody) is tagged a couple times, I think. That's always a fun one for me.
Thanks... I guess I hadn't actually done the math myself even though I saw where we decided an average of 7 a month was the magic number to keep the later months easier to manage. I freaked a little with 19 already for February.... just have to keep on keepin' on I guess!
Question about the rollover... is the amount to be rolled over to the next month just the balance of the month's original goal, or the rolled over goal from the previous month? See below -January goal: 12 - read 3; 9 rollover to Feb
February goal: 11 + 9 rollover = 20; read 5 - rollover 6 (11 minus 5) or 15 (20 minus 5) to March?

What did I read? Nothing! I had one time travel book picked out to read and I forgot about it completely. 😪 Maybe I'll do better for February...
Well, I finished 4 in January... so that means Feb's mark is 19? (11 Feb + 8 leftover)... Guess I better make a better effort in Feb!

Yes but most of my TBR with outside N.Amer settings are still N.American authors. I found 12 (my goal) but I was digging deep in the TBR!!
And oh crap, I just realized it's continent and not country. There goes my Canadian options... back to the drawing board!
OH! the "AND living/born outside my continent" part is hard! Lots of North Americans like to set their books elsewhere :(
