Today is day 5 of the Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon and we're supposed to be sharing our progress on our goals (which I've been doing every day anyway). I'm pretty sure I said on Day 1 that I'm not so good at goal-setting; and sure, enough, I've veered off the path I set on Monday. As it turned out, I decided it was more important to read The Copyeditor's Handbook (since I'm working on my first copyediting job) than to get through all of the fiction books I had planned to read. And then last night I realized that I really should get started on the Matt Archer: Monster Hunter series because I have to read all three books for my review on the 15th and I hate waiting until the last minute to read review books. So, my original reading goals have morphed a bit, but I'm okay with that.
Goal Progress
Goal Progress
Day 1: Finished reading Branded by Abi Ketner and Missy Kalicicki.
Completed Challenges (Introduction and Teaser Tidbit)
Day 2: Read 150 pages of The Copyeditor's Handbook (okay, it's not fiction and technically wasn't one of my goal books, but it's still reading!)
Completed Challenges (Must-Have Summer Reads and Cover Re-do)
Day 3: Finished The Copyeditor's Handbook
Read 152 pages of Slammed by Colleen Hoover
Day 4:
Finished Slammed by Colleen Hoover - This book should have been used for yesterday's post about books that make you cry. I cried often in the second half of the book! Loved it!

Completed Challenges (Books that Made Me Cry & Book Spine Poetry)
Cover Title Scramble
This was a fun new challenge. And it was actually somewhat challenging! I think I managed to get five from each month, though (I had to check some of the titles on Goodreads to make sure that I was correct!). Now, no peeking if you haven't done the challenge yet - That just wouldn't be fair!! :-)

Awe man! I feel your pain! I HATE when my goals and plans do not go the way I want them too! But you are still doing great! Good luck getting those reviews done on time!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm really not great at sticking with goals. Definitely not my strong point! :-)
DeleteI can understand that! I usually push myself harder if I have goals but that does not mean I always reach them. LOL
DeleteI tend to need lots of willpower if I make goals for myself..It often doesn't end well, lol.
ReplyDeleteBut good luck. You're doing great.
I knew when I posted my goals that there was a good chance I'd change them. It's just par for the course with me!
DeleteI know a couple of people who veered off from their goals. I did too! XD But good job so far. Good luck with the rest of your goals. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm still happy with my progress since I knew from the beginning that my goals weren't set in stone.
DeleteYou're doing great! I hope you have a great weekend!
