29 Books to Read in my 29th Year

12.03.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

This will be my third year completing this challenge, and I have to admit I’m excited to try and do even better than I did the previous two times. I can’t make any guarantees but I really, really want to try and read all 29 books that I put on this list. I’m also going to try and not add one item with multiple options on it. That really just ends up making it to be more than what I really need to strive for.

I turn 29 on Thursday and honestly I can’t believe it’s already here. I thought it would be cool to wrap up my challenge to myself of the 28 Books I Want to Read in my 28th Year. I did a six month check in, which you can find here.

Without further ado, let’s jump into the books I read and didn’t read from the remaining books on my list.

11.30.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

November has been a weird month. I’ve been really stressed out with work and the general world, but I’ve had books to escape into which has been great. I have also officially beaten my reading record for 2019! In November, I read 28 books.

Ashley’s November TBR

11.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I can’t believe it’s November and this year is almost over. I noticed this month that I am a little bit behind on some of my reading plans, so I’m hoping to check a few more books off my 28th year TBR and my ABCs reading challenge. You’ll find my reading plans below the cut.

Ashley’s October Haul and Wrap Up

11.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

October was a pretty great month. I always really enjoy reading things that are a little bit spooky and I need to make that a goal to try and read things that are spooky more often. It seems silly to limit it to one month of the year. Overall, it was a pretty good reading month in my opinion. I ended up reading 21 things, which I am pleased with. I also hauled a few books, and have decided to roll these two kinds of posts together.
