2026 Mid-Year Check In: Reading Challenges

I was doing really great on my reading challenges... and then I got into a reading slump 😩 I think I'm still doing okay despite that, but I'm kinda afraid to look 😅

The Flower Market Reading Challenge *Update*

This challenge was SO fun! Jane is so creative! I just wish I hadn't been in a reading slump for most of it 😅 BUT I did it! I completed the challenge!

Library Springtime Reading Challenge *Update*

I don't know why I thought I failed this challenge, but for the last week I've been sad about it... I DIDN'T, though! Omg! All I needed to do was look at the freaking paper for the dates! 😂 For some reason I thought the challenge ended on the 21st, but it doesn't! It ends today, on the 30th, and I finished this challenge like a week ago! Anyway, I'm gonna go to the library today and see if they still have prizes available. I literally could've gone last weekend to check 🤦‍♀️ In my defense, I've been sick for like a month, so my brain has been struggling these days 😂

The Flower Market Reading Challenge

Another Spring reading challenge! 😍 You guys know I'm a sucker for a reading challenge. Lol. This one was created by one of my favorite bloggers, Jane at All She Wrote. Guys, she is so talented! She drew all of the flowers and images herself! 😭 I could never. Lol. Anyway, the challenge is centered around flowers. Each flower corresponds to a specific prompt, and the best part is that there are only 6! The challenge runs until the end of Spring, June 21st, so it's totally doable! Thank you, Jane! 😆

Quarterly Update: 2026 Reading Challenges

I have not done a quarterly update before, at least when it comes to reading challenges. But I feel like I'm doing really well this year and I wanted to take a look. Lol.

Library Springtime Reading Challenge

I went to my library last week, as I do most weeks 😆 and I saw that they had a Spring reading challenge! I was so excited! They always have reading challenges in the Summer, but I believe this is the first time they have one in the springtime. So I obviously had to join because I don't have nearly enough challenges going on right now (lie lol).

2025 Reading Challenges Update

It's time to check out how I did on my challenges and honestly, I have a feeling I did horribly 😅 I did not have a great reading year, and I think it's about to show. Lol.

2026 Reading Challenges

I don't know why I do this to myself, but I overdid it with the challenges again 😅 But they're so fun! I can't help it 😆

2025 Mid-Year Check In: Reading Challenges

I am honestly afraid to be checking in. This is probably one of the worst reading years I have had. Ideally, I would like to be at the 50% mark, but yeah, I don't think so. Lol. Let's see how bad I'm doing! 😃

2024 Reading Challenges Update

I never complete ALL of the challenges I participate and honestly, that's fine with me. For me, the fun lies in setting up challenges and just the journey in general (she says as she fails challenges year after year 🤣) I didn't do TOO bad though. Lol.

2025 Reading Challenges

It's that time for some new challenges and I am SO excited! Did I go overboard with the number of challenges I'm participating in this coming year? Of course I did 😆

2024 Mid-Year Check In: Reading Challenges

It's that time of year to check in on my progress in the million reading challenges I decided to participate in this year 😅 Ideally I'd like to be at 50% with all of these challenges, and I don't think I'm doing too bad, but I feel like there are some that I'm really gonna need to work on

2024 Summer Library Book Bingo

It's that time of year for my library's Summer program! This year it goes from June 7th to August 16th, and it has this sort of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle sort of theme to it, which is cool. I have been participating in this program for the last... 5 years now? It's been a while. Lol. And this program is actually what got me into learning Japanese! One of their challenges in 2019 was to use Rosetta Stone through the library (it's free when you use it through them!) to learn a language and I picked Japanese! I have been learning it on and off for the last 5 years and it has been so fun! (I actually JUST got back into it last week after not having practiced in like a year 😬 I am honestly shocked at how much I remembered despite the fact that it had been a year since I last did a lesson. Lol).

They have a lot of fun activities to do that involve using the library resources, they have virtual events, and they even have in-person events as well! My youngest brother is in a Mariachi band and the library hired them to play at a bunch of library events in branches all over the state. They did this last year too and the patrons loved it, apparently. Lol. I've seen my brother play before so I didn't bother going to one of these events to watch them play. Lol. I am sooo supportive 😆 I might go this year... maybe. Lol.

2023 Reading Challenges *Update*

I can tell you already that I did horribly on these challenges 😅 But that seems to be the theme around here every year 😆

2024 Reading Challenges

I may have gone a bit overboard with the challenges again this year 🫣

2023 Mid-Year Check In: Reading Challenges

It's that time of year to check in on my progress for the reading challenges I decided to join. And I'm nervous. I'm hoping to be at the halfway mark on these, but I honestly don't think I'm doing well at all 😅

2023 Reading Challenges

I love reading challenges! I literally started looking for them in November this year 😆

2023 Author Catch-Up Reading Challenge: Rachel Vincent

I love reading challenges, and this unofficial reading challenge came about when I got a newsletter from Rachel Vincent earlier this month. In this newsletter, not only did she mention that she has a book coming out next week, but that she has planned another book in the Shifters series to be released next year! What?! That is very exciting! Unfortunately for me, I am behind on said series 🙈 In fact, I am behind on Rachel Vincent's work in general! And that makes me sad because I loved her books!

2022 Mid-Year Check In: Reading Challenges

I'm a little scared to check in on my progress... I don't think I'm doing well at all 😅 I'm hoping to be at the 50% mark by now, but I honestly don't know. Lol.

2021 Reading Challenges *Update*

It's the end of the year, so let's take a look at how I'm doing on my reading challenges. I'm not gonna lie, I don't think I'm doing great 😅 Lol.
