I agree with Anni, I like your tracking method :)

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments So i just bought two ebooks and am debating with myself whether or not I'll have to earn them 🤗

On the one hand, i never buy ebooks because I don't like them, and having to earn just two more books wouldn't change too much with the challenge anyway. And the very fact that i hate ebooks but still bought them, shows how much i wanted those books in the first place lol.

But on the other hand, I'm doing this challenge to reduce the amount of physical books i own, for space reasons, and ebooks don't affect that.

I guess I'll include them for completion's sake for now, and decide later... (particularly in case i run out of time before earning all the books, I'll definitely exclude them from the challenge at the end of the year 😝)

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments Once again just a little short of earning another book - only 23 pages! Would be the 7th book of the month, by the way!
I don't think i have ever in my life read as much in a single month - i finished 20 books already, and still 10 days left until september begins 😱

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments About to earn my 9th book of the month - only 191 pages to go!

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments It was around 8500. I don't think I've ever read that much before!

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments I'm reading two big books I'm not particularly enjoying right now (house of hades - 600 pages and brisingr - 860 pages) and i can feel them making me start to dread reading.... so I'm going to put them on hold until i get back into the reading groove and start something I'm actually excited about in the meantime.

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments Only 2 books left to earn 😃
I'm going to challenge myself to read the remaining 17 books i bought in 2018 before the end of the year! I have scheduled buddy reads for 6 of them, and 1 for january (which I'm just going to count as read for the sake of this challenge).
That leaves 10 books to finish by december 31st.

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments 🎉🎉🎉 YES! As of today, I've officially earned all of the books i purchased this year! 🎉🎉🎉

Had to scrap this challenge, as i ran into an unforeseen reading slump... Now i just want to finish my remaining 3 buddy reads for this year, and maybe a fourth book as well.
I'm doing great with audiobooks, but not so much with the physical ones...
