  1. You are nailing these challenges. Some of them you’re already halfway through your number. Great job. I’m only doing the Goodreads challenge (175 books. I’m on track with 37 read) and Audiobook Challenge (didn’t really select a number but I listened to 130 last year. I’m at 23 so far).

    • Great challenges to work on. Keep at your goals, it’s only the first quarter, so we all have time. I know a few who are only doing two or three challenges this year. I kinda picked a lot, but so far I’m doing great and ya, some are half way through my number. I’ve got the Goodreads challenge too my goal is 100 and I’m at 49 read.

  2. You just reminded me that it was the end of the 1st quarter! I’m only doing the audiobook challenge and the GR challenge this year. Last year was kind of a big bummer for challenges and I told myself I’d take a break from the pressure and keep it simple. You are making a huge dent in all your challenges! You’re doing great!

    • That’s great that you are keeping your challenges simple. You have to do what works for you. I know I put this post together the day before. I was like of my it’s the 1st quarter and I need to do my update ^_^. So far so good my challenges. I’m trying to keep to my main goal of reading older books and picking them up at the library.
      Thank’s Tanya!! I hope I can keep it up throughout the year.

  3. You sure do have lots to read. I try to read all my books on my kindle in order. However, my to be read order is getting bigger and I blame that on the finger trigger. ? The one click gets me every time. I wish you good luck on your list and hopefully I can finish mine.

    • My to read list is miles long. I’m trying to read older published books and I’m trying to pick up those books from the library or if I have them on my eReader, read them their. So far I haven’t been overwhelmed and seam to be putting a good dent into my challenges.
