  1. Looks like you’re making progress, especially with reading your own books and Netgalley! This is why I don’t do many challenges though- I can’t keep track of all this stuff lol. I think you’re doing pretty good! It is fun to see what everyone else is doing. 🙂

  2. I’m stinking up the place. At least it looks like you’ll hit your NetGalley goal. Woot! I still have a ways to go on that one. But I intend to do a NetGalley November, so in Sept and Oct I need to step up the NetGalley reads. Then I’ll have a month of posts in November.

    • I am close to it but not at 80% yet however I think I will get to it if I don’t request anything until the end of the year. I think I will also be doing a netgalley challenge since I think that will really help me, might even do some for COYER Summer.
