A bit early but I'm trying to make a list with what to read the last two months of the year :)

And since I already met my goals for up-to-date and finishing series I will focus on my not completed goals:
- complete the ATY challenge
- read 50 books I bought before 2018
- read at least 50% of the books I buy in 2018

Since I'm almost at 50% for the bought in 2018 books I think I will concentrate on the read 50 books I bought before 2018.
(and I think I won't complete the ATY challenge)

Never too early.

I don't know if I could be this organized. I've got a few challenges that I forgot about so you've inspired me to go check what's what there and do a Herculean effort to complete them. I must say at the same time I'm not overly worried to finish some of them.

Good read and good luck with completing those challenges.

Happy Reading and wishing you well to finish your challenges!

Thanks everyone!
I'll try and see how far I get 😄

Good luck with your year end goals. Hard to believe Nov/Dec. yikes.

Good luck Lieke. Where has the year gone?

Thank you Laura and Angela!

I have no idea, it went way too quick still so many books to read ;)

How are you doing in the Around the World Challenge? That’s quite the list!

I wanted to do that challenge, but I was doing too many challenges so haven't kept track for that challenge.

Didn't read a lot this month so not much progress for my goals.
Did enjoy The Mortal Word and Spinning Silver a lot (both 4 stars).

I still need to read 7 books I bought before this year, not sure if I will manage but I will try :)

There is always a lull for me at the end of the year. Hope you enjoy December!

Good luck this month, Lieke!

Thank you Lauren and Jonetta!

I decided to pick a few books to prioritize this month (since it is to much to read in one month), either for challenges, buddy read or because I really want to read the book:
