August '19 challenge wrap-up

Good morning bookworms!
Welcome to the August challenge wrap-up!! Also known as the post where each month I go “CRAP! I forgot to check what Sophie’s prompt is for the Ultimate Reading Challenge this month” and then try and retrofit my errors into something that works… ?

Goodreads

Read 71 of 90 books.
Definitely on track!!
(And no, this doesn’t count the beta I read this year…)

Beat the Backlist

Read 42 of 50 books.
(There is a column on the original list where I have marked off the books I have read.)

Beat the Backlist Epic Reading Bingo

Slow, but steady progress… in case you haven’t figured it out, I am attempting to hit every square on this, not just a row or column. There are so many books on here that could just fill 2-3 lines, but I’m going for books that hit random prompts first to try and get the harder ones out of the way early!

Year of the Asian

Read 11 of 10 books!!!
GOAL COMPLETE!!!
After adding that Tarsier to my blog I’m now aiming to see how high I can get the rest of the year… Although, I am technically in the Indian Cobra range now.
