read, write, design, create
During the month of May, I participated in Middle Grade Carousel’s Book a Day reading challenge. This year I really wanted to read through Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, make time for some audiobooks I’ve been stockpiling, and enjoy some of the gorgeous graphic novels that have been calling from the home library shelves.
Spooky Season is a great reminder to loosen up and have some fun! I’ve loved having that rare bit of free time to pick up some for-fun projects, read mysteries, scout out my holiday shopping, and simply let myself recharge.
This year, I decided to try a scaling reading goal, adjusting my Goodreads tracker up by another 10 books whenever I’m able to complete the current challenge.
To date, I’ve read over 60 books, so my new goal is set to 70. Per tradition, I’m featuring another stack of books I’d love to read in the near future.
It’s always surprising how much can sneak into a month when my attention is on other things. Between the deadlines and distractions, I’m really amazed to look back and see details I had overlooked at the time. Ready for a recap?
At the start of the year, I decided to use a scaling goal to track my year of reading. My original goal of 10 books bumped up to 20, and thanks to #BookADayMay and a surprisingly productive summer reading session, I’ve blown through that goal and then some with a total of 50 books!
I’m bumping up my Goodreads goal to 60, and highlighting some more books on my To-Read pile for 2021!
