Reading Challenge Update: April 2017

Hey, everyone, and Happy May Day! Unfortunately for me, there wasn't any spring celebration today, but we did get a huge thunderstorm, and some funnel clouds were spotted in the area. Cool, huh?

Anyway, if you're new to The Hardcover Lover, I try to keep my readers updated with the reading challenges I'm participating in through a monthly update - The Hardcover Lover's Reading Challenge Update. I've been pretty busy lately, and haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to my reading challenges, but I do have a small update for you this month...

Reading Challenge Update: November

Oh boy! Where does the time go? It's hard to believe that December and the holiday season is already here. It really seems like it was just yesterday that The Hardcover Lover got a makeover and new features were unveiled.

One of those features was The Hardcover Lover's Reading Challenge Update. So just what is this post about? I'll tell you...

At the end of 2015, I decided that I was reading too many similar books and too many books that were inside of my comfort zone. To change this, I decided to try reading some different books, and the best way to do that was to join a few different reading challenges, especially challenges that focused on genres that I don't typically read. To keep track of the reading challenges, I came up with a way to keep track of the books I was reading for the challenges, and it is the very generically named Reading Challenge Update.

Reading Challenge Update: October

At the end of 2015, I decided that I was going to challenge myself to read more books, but not just more books in general... I wanted to challenge myself to read more books outside of my comfort zone and outside of the genres that I normally read. To do this, I decided to join a few different reading challenges, hosted by many different bloggers in the book community. To keep track of the reading challenges, I came up with a way to keep track of the books I was reading for the challenges, and it is the very generically named Reading Challenge Update.

Reading Challenge Update: September

Reading Challenge Update: August

At the end of 2015, I decided that I was going to challenge myself to read more books. But not just more books in general... I wanted to challenge myself to read more books outside of my comfort zone and outside of the genres that I normally read, so I joined a few different reading challenges, hosted by many different bloggers in the book community. To keep track of the reading challenges, I came up with a way to keep track of the books I was reading for the challenges, and it is the very generically named Reading Challenge Update.

Reading Challenge Update: July

At the end of 2015, I decided that I was going to challenge myself to read more. That meant that I was going to try to read in more genres and participate in more reading challenges. To keep track of the reading challenges, I came up with a way to keep track of the books I was reading for the challenges, and it is the very generically named Reading Challenge Update.

Reading Challenge Update: June

At the end of 2015, I decided that I was going to challenge myself to read more. That meant that I was going to try to read in more genres and participate in more reading challenges. To keep track of the reading challenges, I came up with a way to keep track of the books I was reading for the challenges, and it is the very generically named Reading Challenge Update.

Now I know it's a little late for me to be posting this because it's already the middle of July, but things got in the way and I just didn't really feel like blogging. Now that I'm feeling a little better and more motivated about keeping up with my blog, I've got a rewind of my what I read in June.

Reading Challenge Update: April

Way back in December of last year and January of this year, I decided to sign up for some reading challenges. Despite my complete failure in participating in most of them during 2015, I thought I'd do a lot better 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 that I'll share at the beginning of every month. Each post will cover the books that I read and counted for reading challenges during the previous month.

Reading Challenge Update: March

Can you believe that we've already gone through three months in 2016? I can't believe that we're into April right now. The year is flying by so quickly!

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.

Alright... so let's see how I faired for all of my challenges in March!

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!

Reading Challenge Update: January

Hello, all you lovely people! We made it through January! It seems like the new year started yesterday, but we're already a month into 2016, and things are only just getting started. Hooray!

Some of you might remember that I signed up for a lot of reading challenges in 2015, and unfortunately I never really kept up with them. Yes, I read the books that I wanted to for the challenges, but I forgot to link up and keep track of my progress. That's not good, right!

This new feature is one that I'm hoping will help me stay on track. Instead of just reading the books that I've challenged myself to read, I'm going to be sharing them with you at the end of each month. I'm really hoping that this helps me remember and keep track of all of the books I'm reading and the challenges I've signed up for this year.

Alright... so let's see how I faired for January...
