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.
The August Files: Tracking the 2026 Reading Chaos
A look at what kept my ears busy this last month.
Cursed ~ DNF
Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped ~ 3 ⭐

August definitely didn’t hit the mark for my reading goals or challenge progress. With one DNF and another read that was just okay, plus high school back in full swing and figuring out a new family routine, my reading time took a hit! Take a look at how my goals are holding up below, and don’t forget to check out the latest reviews right here on the blog.

It may have only been two books – but that is a lot of pages. I hope you find your new routine and possibly some reading time this month.
I’m just happy I managed to get two books in, even if one was a DNF! I’m slowly settling into a routine now and have already finished listening to two books for September. Thanks so much for stopping by, Jen—happy reading!
My TBR challenge is going nowhere with all the books I have to read for my new library committee!
Oh my! Big congratulations on joining the library committee! I hope the assigned reads turn out to be super enjoyable for you. Best of luck with it, and thanks so much for stopping by!
It’s tough to get into a new routine and reading time often suffers. Hopefully soon you’ll have it worked out. Those ones you did finish worked for a few different challenges. I love it when that happens. 🙂
I’ve really been trying to pick books that check off multiple challenges at once this year, and so far it’s working out great! I’m really enjoying how the year is going. My routine is slowly falling into place, too. I was super happy with the title I finished in August and already have two down for September. Thanks so much for stopping by, Sophia!
You’re working all those challenges. I’m reading but I’m not doing the upkeep on challenges like usual. It’s just been a sot of rough summer.
I hear you—it really feels like a struggle to keep up with challenge tracker posts and updates when life gets busy! I hope things smooth out for you soon. Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting!
