2017 Reading Challenge update- October-

It has been way too long since I've updated on my reading challenge. I'm ashamed to admit it but I'm failing my own challenge. For those of you who don't know, I created my own reading challenge. You can see the original post here. I gave myself a lofty goal of 50 books. I'm realizing now that I set the bar way too high. It didn't help that the challenges I picked were just because I was staring at my book shelf while I wrote it. At this point, I'm not even going to get half of it done. On the bright side, I think I know what to fix for 2018, which will be in the works soon!

According to Goodreads, I've read 19 out of 50 books, which is inaccurate. It has a book on their twice, and a reread that I didn't actually finish rereading (I don't think...). Anyways, 2017 has been a bit of a bust for reading. So here's a break down of what I've read, along with links to the post.

Going forward for the rest of 2017, I'll probably try to get a couple of more books knocked out, but I'm not really expecting a lot. I think in the mean time I'm going to focus on making 2018's challenge better, because I know I have some interest there. I think this one was too long, and to specific.
