2025 Challenges Update: End of June

June was another slow reading month for me. June is always slow for me as it is my busiest work month. Now that it’s almost over, I should be back to reading more regularly. I don’t think I’ve made much progress with my challenges at all.

Challenge 1: Finish A Series

At the end of May, I had finished 3 series and made progress on 3 series. In June, I read one more book for this challenge, again a mid-series book so I’ve now made progress on 4 series.

• I read Don’t Hex and Drive by Juliette Cross, which is the second book in the Stay A Spell series. I enjoyed it and will definitely be continuing the series.

Challenge 2: RARE London Challenge

This will be my final update for this challenge as RARE is now a week away… how exciting. At the end of May, I had read 10 books for RARE. This month I finished one, and I am currently listening to another. However my audiobook of An Heir Comes To Rise is only available on Audible Plus till July 1st, so I have to finish it in the next 2 days so it WILL be finished by the proper end of the month.

Challenge 3: Read 12 Books Recommended by 12 Friends

At the end of May I had read 4 of 12 books. I haven’t made any further progress on this challenge as I have been focusing on other reads. I will be catching up on this one in the next few months.

Challenge 4: ARC Catch Up

At the end of May, I had read 3 books from this challenge. I didn’t made any further progress on this challenge either but I will be catching up on it after the summer.
