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.

September was a solid month for my ears, bringing in 3 completed audiobooks! I had grand plans for a longer list, but a two-week slump slowed me down a bit. Still, I’m thrilled with my overall progress—I’m on track to wrap up almost all of my 2026 reading challenges! We also kicked off the two-month Library Love BINGO challenge, and I’ve already knocked out a few squares. Here’s hoping for at least one BINGO this round. Let’s dive into the breakdown!

Nice job! I read a lot (for me) in September. I was surprised when I worked on my post. I am on track for my revised goals. Not sure if I’ll get in all of the Bingo squares.
Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you the best of luck with all your goals!

Thanks for stopping by!
You have all those challenges in your sight. You can do it!
Thanks (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)
I’m still struggling with my TBR challenge, but at this point I’m pretty sure I won’t be meeting it this year, so may just kind of quit on that one and do more to finish the two that I’m close but struggling on, the Romance Bingo and my Alphabet challenge.
Setting aside a challenge you can’t finish to focus on the ones you can is a great approach. Good luck with whichever challenges you decide to pursue!
