I’ve officially signed up for eight reading challenges this year! From the TBR Tackle and Beat the Backlist to Library Love and COYER, my schedule is packed. My main mission for 2026? Making the most of my local library and finally conquering that ever-growing TBR pile.

This year I don’t have too many goals – which admittedly does make it easier. I would like to read all my review books though and atm I’m behind. So I’m hoping to catch up.
Well done.
Lynn 😀
Hi Lynn! I’m sure you’ll get caught up on your review stack in no time. We still have half the year left, so plenty of time! Smaller goals are just as wonderful—they don’t all have to be huge. Thanks for visiting and happy reading!
You’re doing well with your challenges.
Thanks, Mary! I’m feeling pretty good about my mid-year progress so far. Excited for the rest of the year and to see how many more goals I can crush! Thanks for visiting, and happy reading!
Yea! Looks like you had a solid month. You are killing it. 🙂
Thanks so much, Jen! I can’t complain—I’m super happy with where I’m at right now. Really looking forward to seeing how the second half of the year goes! Thanks for visiting and happy reading!
Love that they meet so many challenge prompts for you. July was a good listening month. 🙂
Thanks, Sophia! It definitely worked out well with the prompts this month, and July turned out to be a great listening month overall. I’m really pleased with how things are coming along. Thanks for visiting, and happy reading!
You are doing well and working goals with intention. I am trying to remember what I am doing and hanging on by the skin of my teeth. It’s been a rough summer for me.
I’m so sorry it’s been a rough summer—I really hope things start turning around for you soon!
My main focus this year was leveraging my local library to feed my book obsession, and that’s been going really well. On the other hand, my goal to tackle all those freebies I’ve collected has definitely taken a back seat! All in all, I’m pretty happy with how my challenges are coming along.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Anne!
