It’s the last day of 2019, fellow readers! Did you complete your TBR Challenge?
I am one book away from making my revised goal this year, so you can guess what I’ll be doing for the rest of the day 😉 Bo has been cheering me on, too…as long as I can hold my book or ereader with one hand and pet him with the other!
Happy holidays, and happy reading!
UPDATE: I made it! I didn’t get to spend the day reading, but ended up completing the challenge with a novella that I’d purchased nine years ago, which I thought was fitting.
I read 14 TBR books (meeting my revised goal) and 36 books over all (meeting my Goodreads Challenge goal). I also purchased 37 books in 2019, so I came out nearly even in intake vs outgoing. This is the first year that’s happened since I started keeping track 🙂
Hi Cora – I was thinking of you today! How are you feeling? Well, I exceeded my GR goal of 150 and read 160. I was dismal in my lofty Cora’s TBR goals. I had revised it to 73. Of that, I read 12. Eek! Many rereads and new books were read. I went to 3 author signings and accumulated more. I also won a bunch. I have slowed down in my local and Amazon purchases, though. I have also swapped some and donated some to the library. Here’s to better commitment next year. Sounds like you made and kept reasonable goals, so that’s probably what I should do. Happy New Year!

Reading new books keeps them off your TBR, though, so you’ve still accomplished the goal of the challenge 😉 I’m hanging in there–had to cut back on a lot of stuff this month and I’m trying to rest more while I’ve got some time off from the day job. Hopefully Bo doesn’t run me ragged while I’m home!

I like your theory. Hope you get to rest up. I had last week off, but my daughter was home from college & her boyfriend came to stay, and my son & his girlfriend came to stay for a few days. I felt like I was constantly cooking and cleaning dishes. It was good to have everyone here, though. The house is now so quiet. I’m sure Bo is loving having his mommy to himself.
