By the Month... (2025)

[Bea]

September update:
Read: 6 + 3 in progress
Rollover: 11

Still making progress...I am hanging in there, and that alone is worthy of celebration. Never before have I made it this far!

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I read 3 in September with 3 to rollover so 6 for October.

[Meg]

A good month for me with 9 read! Rollover is 10

[Joyce]

I finally made a bit of a dent in my roll over and went from 30 to 23 this month

[LaurLa]

Woo!! October was a great month for me. After a couple of barely there months, my rollover from Oct was 15 and I was able to read 10! That really eats into that rollover!!!

October goal: 3 + 15 rollover = 18 total
October actual: 10 book = new rollover: 8

i am so happy for you, LaurLa.

Me? I hit one of your barely there months. I read one. Plus, my October rollover was supposed to be 11. But, instead of working on October, books I had requested for September came in and I read more of those. Bah.

November: 3+10 = 13 carryover

13 is doable!!! I found the last couple of years that I end up reading a lot of books for December based on the adding to TBR in December - seems I tend to add a lot of books in December as I prepare for the new year challenges!

[Meg]

9 this month so only 4 rollover. Well on track to finish this year!

[Bea]

I know that there is a week left in November, but I am really excited that I have stuck with this challenge all year. It is a first for me. I doubt that I will complete all necessary books by the end of December, but I have kept trying! So proud of me.

I will have read 4 books and started 2 by the end of November. That doesn't sound like much when you realize that I had 15 to read this month. Still, I did read and plan.

I have already planned my December reading: 1 + 9 carryover.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I only had 3 to rollover for December.

[LaurLa]

I only have 2 rollover for December!!! woot woot!!

You can do it!!!

[Meg]

I read my 6 as planned for November, so I have ZERO roll over and only the 1 for December!

[Bea]

Wow! I hope to be in your leagues (Jayme, LaurLa, Meg) some day.

[Rosemary]

I have finished! I had no rollover for December, so only one to read, and finished it today. I was thinking I would struggle when I only read 2 in June and 4 in July, but it worked out. I love the way this challenge gets easier than you expect in the later months!

WTG, Rosemary!

Finished! Luckily, I had only one book to complete in December, so now I'm done. Edited in post #6 above.
