Overflowing Bookshelf Mini-Goals Challenge - September 2018

[Virginie]

Thanks guys!

And of course, as soon as I boast about slaying my monthly TBR, I hit a reading slump xD
It's not even stress about my BR-schedule (well, not completely) but reading in general :O

So, like any sane person with a reading problem would do, I'm indulging in a Marvel binge! :p
There's 20 movies in the MCU right now! I'm wrapping up Phase 1, will re-watch Phase 2 and soon will start on the movies I haven't seen yet (Phase 3) :D

[Elinor]

The Marvel binge is the way to go. I would say that I binge wonderful shows like Avatar (yes I hadn't talked about it today yet) (now it's done) and Trollhunters but to my surprise I'm doing a great reading month besides my binge-watching of the first seasons of those two shows (I'm currently on season 2 of Avatar, Trollhunter is on hold until I'm finished with ZukoAvatar) (yes, that's a tric Avatar in one single post, doing great today). I'm not doing great on the Kate Daniels front, but the rest I'm really happy with ! :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Yeah!! One down lol. 5 to go. We still gots time. :)

[Anni]

You're still doing great, every progress is good progress! :) And there's still more than a third left!

I'm satisfied with my progress so far, I finished 6 of my 9 planned reads:



and I only have an hour left of my Wise Man's Fear Part 1 Audiobook, so I hope to finish this one today as well :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Thanks Anni! :) And 6 (almost 7) of 9!!??? That's awesome!! :D

[Siobhan]

Well done, Anni!! Go you!

Well done, Niki! :D

[Anni]

Thank you two :) It's maybe a little cheated, because the 7 are all audiobooks or rather short books, but I still feel a little awesome 😂

Not cheating at all! Noone said they had to be long XD

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Thanks Siobhan!

And I agree - if you own it and you're reading it, it's not cheating. I don't care if its a 10 pg pamphlet haha.

[Anni]

Haha, maybe I should add my dishwasher's manual to goodreads 😂

Bahahaha! 😅

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Hahahaha

[Elinor]

XD
Now what I'm wondering is for how long your dishwasher manual have been on your TBR ?

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I'm still sitting at 1 completed lol.

But you're looking fabulous doing so 😜

[Virginie]

So... I took out Words of Radiance 'cause I really don't feel like re-reading it right now.
Added one book and two Bookburners episodes to compensate.

(It's nowhere near the same amount of pages but shhhhh!)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Hahaha - thank you, thank you. ☺️😜

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Haha, thats works Virginie. You've already read WoR, no?

[Virginie]

Niki Hawkes wrote: "Haha, thats works Virginie. You've already read WoR, no?"

Yup, but I felt I had to add it to the list 'cause I bought the paperback just for the re-read (already had the ebook).
But nope, no time. I've got a certain person to beat to 0 series now ;)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Haha I condone that decision.

Although a few hundred pages difference isn't going to matter. Your ass is grass!! (Ooooohhhh snaaapp)!! ;P

[Bill]

Good luck to you both in your race for 2nd place.

I’m up to 7 for the month although I’ve swapped out 2 or 3. I’m doing To Green Angel Tower now for number 8 and that be the only one I get done for the month.

Aww, it's sweet that you already see me as the winner, thank you! :)

I finished my 8th book for this challenge today. I might swap my last planned read as well.

[Hailee]

Wow congrats everyone, you are all doing brilliantly.

I've only read 2 as this reading slump is kicking my ass but I'm tentatively hopeful that I might just finish The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle this month to take me up to a grand total of 3 ;-)

You're still doing great Hailee! :) Plus after all the books you read last month and before it's not surprising you need a little break.
I hope finishing the book is a good sign and you manage to kick your reading slump instead now ;)

Aww, it’s cute that you think you have a chance.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I love how many strikethroughs I see on your lists. Mine has two haha. I need to get focused again in October. ^_^

[Bill]

Doing the strikethroughs is really satisfying for some reason.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Right?!

[Virginie]

Completed: 20/20

YOOWZA! :D

That's unreal!! Congrats Virginie! :D

[Siobhan]

And Anni, Bill, Elinor, Niki, Hailee - you're all doing amazing! So many strikethroughs XD 🎆🎇

[Siobhan]

I'm on 3/7. Getting there with WoR and Waking Fire though! I'll hopefully get at least one of them finished in September.

[Virginie]

Thanks guys :)

You're all doing well. Seeing all those strikethroughs is oddly satisfying :p

[Bill]

Incredible Virginie. Well done everyone else.

I’m doing a 1k book too and it has killed all my momentum. Good luck with yours.

[Siobhan]

Thanks Bill :)

[Bill]

[Zaara]

1. Words of Radiance (1300 pages)
2. The Crown Tower
3. Deathless swapped out for The Sleeping Doll
4. Wuthering Heights
5. Dreams of Gods and Monsters
6. Night of Cake & Puppets
7. Folded Knife
8. Anna Karenina (over 1000 pages left)
9. The Duchess Deal
10. Romancing the Duke

5/10 but will be done with all the rest soon.

[Siobhan]

Great progress, Zaara! :D

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]
