2018 Reading Challenge
Books read in July: 12
I had been tracking the children's books ARCs I'd been reading all year, and decided I didn't like counting children's books in my number of books read. SO! Edited my dates read in Goodreads to get an accurate snapshot of how many middle-grade and above books I've read this year. ;)
#RippedBodiceBingo
Each square represents a book you've read this summer, and you fill in the square with the title & author once you've met the criteria. To get a bingo you need to get 5 in a row (vertical or horizontal) and for each row you complete you can enter to win prizes at https://www.therippedbodicela.com/bingo

- Technically I've read a lot of backlist books, just not books from my Book Mountain, which is the special rules I'd set myself. I can still get some of my books I own read... I just need to stop requesting ARCs, ahhhh!

I don’t count picture books toward my goal. It feels like cheating. Great job with your challenges! I hope you’re having a good August.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
It DOES feel like cheating!! Plus, I had to keep changing my goal of total books read higher and higher. I don't count them for any of my other challenges, so I decided not to count them as part of my total books read. (Which is a pity, or I'd be DONE with the dang alphabet challenge by now... LOL)
DeleteI don't include picture books in my total for reading either but that's about it - I'll put anything else on there (graphic novels, novellas, etc.) Great job on all you've read so far this year though. That's still a lot!

Novellas and graphic novels TOTALLY count, lol
DeleteThe Ripped Bodice bingo is one of the best things I have ever seen. I love to do book bingo just for fun, and this one is all romance. SQUEE!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT! Some of the categories are really hard, though, like "Carriage Sex" or "Here Smells Like MAN" where you don't know if a book will have it in there until you've actually read that bit.
