Reading Challenge Update: February

Two months down and ten to go! Who would have thought that 2016 would fly by as quickly as it has been, right?

Many of you know that I'm participating in a few different reading challenges this year. To keep myself on track (and to let you know what I've been reading), I came up with these Reading Challenge Update posts. Yes, I know they aren't very original, but because of them, I've been keeping track of the books I've been reading for the many reading challenges I signed up for at the end of 2015.

So... let's check in on my progress for February!

Note: Some of these challenges allow readers to cross-read, which means you can read the same books for multiple challenges, and they count for all of them. Throughout these monthly updates, including today's update, you may notice this trend.

Debut Author Challenge

The Debut Author Challenge is hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. The goal is to challenge yourself to read as many 2016 Middle Grade, YA, and NA debuts as possible.

Contemporary Romance Reading Challenge

The Contemporary Romance Reading Challenge is hosted by Jess of Gone with the Words and Danielle of Love at First Page. It's all about reading those swoony contemporary romance novels.

Non-Challenge Books

Occasionally, I'll read a book that won't fall into one of the reading challenges I've pledged to complete this year. I'll also be sharing those on these updates just as a way to recap everything that I've read.

I didn't have the greatest of reading months this February. I did read a lot of children's books, but none of them counted for any of the challenges. I'm hoping that March will be a much better month for the many reading challenges I've signed up for this year.

How are your reading challenges going so far? Let me know in the comments what reading challenges you've signed up for and read in the comments. And let me know if you need a little encouragement! I'm sure we can all use some cheering on!
