September Wrap Up and October TBR

Read in September:

I honestly cannot believe how much reading I did this month. Like I have been slowly building up since the spring but this is the best I have had in over a year. Some of these books were really amazing too. I got to marathon a series I know a lot of people love, and I made some really good progress on my ALA books. Because dudes, I read a total of 16 books this month. Managing to read this many books in a much in a month is definitely a big accomplishment and puts me ahead for my Goodreads goal. It's not on track for my original goal of 150 but it's still really good.

For challenges, this year I'm low key doing challenges. I set a Goodreads goal of reading 120 books in a year. I am up to 100 books for the year and feeling really good about meeting this goal. Even if I have some lighter months I will still make it. For the rest of the challenges I only low key set them. I want to read 20 debuts this year and I didn't read any this month. Oops. I'm still at 10 total for the year which is behind schedule but it is what it is. Maybe I should try and hit 12 instead. I want to read 36 books from Netgalley and Edelweiss and I didn't read any this month which brings my total up to 16 for the year. I haven't really been reading e-books lately and I didn't want to force myself to read one just for this challenge so whatever, who cares. I also want to read 20 backlist books. This month I read 4 which brings my total to 20 for the year so hey, I beat one goal.
