2024 Build Your Library Reading Challenge

Twenty Seventeen Books of Summer Challenge Complete!
6:41 PM
While I've been rocking my reading challenges this year, I didn't quite complete this one, the 20 Books of Summer challenge hosted annually by Cathy over at 746 Books. To be fair, I started late. Also to be fair, I changed out several books over the course of the challenge so I could complete more of them. The rules of the challenge are very flexible, which is nice. Here's what I ended up reading:
1. Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser—This is my current physical book. I've read about 1/3 so far. finished 06.22.23
2. In Myrtle Peril by Elizabeth C. Bunce—I'm listening to this one on audio and am about halfway done. finished 06.23.23
3. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith (re-read) - finished 07.05.23
5. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (re-read) - finished 07.29.23
6. Kim by Rudyard Kipling - DNF
11. Crow Mary by Kathleen Grissom
12. O' Art of Death by Sarah Stewart Taylor - finished 08.05.23
15. Monday's Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson
16. Death in Bloom by Jess Dylan - finished 08.05.23
17. Ellie Engle Saves Herself by Leah Johnson
18. The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown - finished 07.18.23
19. The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer - finished 07.16.23
Seventeen out of twenty isn't too bad! It felt good to cross all of these off my TBR list. I enjoyed most of them to boot. Not too shabby at all.
I enjoyed this fun challenge and will definitely plan to join again next year.

17 out of 20 is great and what a fun variety of reading you had this summer!
ReplyDeleteNot bad at all. Of the ones you didn't get to, I've never read Kim but imagine that to be a "hard read," I don't know anything about Leah Johnson's book, but I'm wondering if you plan to go back and read Crow Mary at some point.
ReplyDelete17 out of 20 is pretty darn good! Congrats on making great progress. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll take 17 out of 20 any day. Way to get those titles in!
ReplyDeleteSeventeen books is still awesome! congrats. :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great challenge! I see so many books on your list I need to read. Especially A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
ReplyDeleteI didn't read the 20 I set out to read but read over 20 books for the summer.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I really want to read Enchanted Hill and O'Art of Death.
ReplyDeleteVery good job!
ReplyDeleteYeah, flexible reading challenges are the best.
