2025 Challenges Update: End of August

August has been a really good reading month for me. I have focused very heavily on ARCs for this month. A lot of them were 2025 ARCs so not necessarily for the backlist challenge, but I’m really happy on my progress so far.

Challenge 1: Finish A Series

At the end of July I had finished 4 series and made progress on 4 series. I have not made any further progress on this challenge this month as I was heavily focusing on ARCs.

Challenge 2: Read 12 Books Recommended by 12 Friends

At the end of July I had read 4 of the 12 books for this challenge. I read one more book for this challenge, making it a total of 5 books read for this challenge so far.

Challenge 3: ARC Catch Up

At the end of July, I had read 3 books from this challenge. I have read 5 ARCs this month, but only 2 of them were backlist titles. I’m still thrilled that I have managed to read 2 more backlist ARC titles, which makes it a total of 5 read for this year so far.
