Tag: The Good The Bad And The Scandalous

Happy almost-September, fellow readers! We’re three-quarters of the way through the year already! Are you going to make your TBR goal?

We have seventeen weeks left (plus the rest of this one), so I’m still in the hunt. I took a two-week break after I finished writing The Good, The Bad, And The Scandalous and didn’t do any writing at all. I’ve just been reading and trying to whittle down my Netflix queue 🙂  I’m up to five TBR books read now, and I have 16 to go in order to meet my goal. That’s totally do-able, as long as the Migraine Monster stays away and I don’t fall down too many research rabbit holes working on my next book.

I also started to organize my TBR books a little better this week. I got out good old Excel and made a spreadsheet of all the books I had that belonged to a series. I discovered that I have eight complete series on my Kindle that I haven’t even started reading, and several others that are nearly complete. Yikes! I suspect there are more, too–I haven’t quite made it through my whole collection yet–so that’s probably what I’ll focus on next. Perhaps I’ll be binge-reading over Labor Day weekend rather than binge-watching!

Seven months down, readers. How much progress have you made on your TBR Challenge?

I’ve been a bad reader so far this year, and have made zero progress on my TBR goal. I’m still stuck at 1 TBR book read, while my Purchased In 2017 shelf has grown to 36! Oops 🙂

I’m at Romance Writers of America’s national conference this week learning, all kinds of good stuff about the business and craft of writing romance. And I’m finishing up The Good, The Bad, And The Scandalous (which releases August 17!). Once those two items are checked off my list, I’m going to spend a couple of weeks reading and binge-watching all the movies I’ve missed this year. Then perhaps my TBR Challenge total will be a bit higher…and I’ll finally get to see Wonder Woman!
