This is a new monthly challenge, thought of by our very own Bonnie!

Each individual will set a reading goal for the month and race to get your goal met! As you go through the month, you'll update your post to share what you've read, and how it's coming along!

This can be any number you like!

You can do any combination of audiobooks, ebooks, and physical books! You can set a goal for each type!
Whatever you'd like!

Tracey Allen at Carpe Librum (carpelibrum) | 1224 comments My reading goal for the month is to start reading The Count of Monte Cristo, a classic and the biggest book on my TBR, and start my buddy pick. Wish me luck, I’m going to need it 😃

Update: I’ve done it! I’ve made a start on The Count of Monte Cristo! I’m only reading about 30 pages a night so it’s going to take me at least a month but I’m 11% of the way through so far.

Update: I’m next in line for my buddy pick at the library but won’t be starting it in the month of June, so I managed to achieve half of my monthly challenge.

Thanks Bonnie, I've had my copy since 2016 but it's always been so intimidating, but this is the year!

Congrats Bonnie 👏👏 I’m still waiting on my buddy pick book to become available at the library but going strong on The Count of Monte Cristo.
