Ah, my favorite month has come to an end, and now we look to the end of this year (I don’t care much for November and December, tbh). All I can say is that I did not even notice it pass by so fast. But it did, and now I look back on how it went:
Firstly, my Goodreads challenge: if you have been paying attention, yes, I decreased my challenge limit from 260 to 226 – I wanted it to be somewhere manageable and not give me constant stress. READING IS SUPPOSED TO BE PLEASANT! (repeat until I believe it)
26 books overall – 22 newly read, and 4 rereads. 2 of them were short-stories, 2 were graphic novels and 1 was a novella. 6 of them were read in audio.
Here’s what I sort them as:
