Reading Challenge Check-In

Time to check in for a monthly accountability on the Reading Challenges I’m participating in
March came and went quickly for me. I feel as though I’ve dropped the ball on a lot of things.
Here’s my March progress:
Alphabet Soup Challenge - I was aiming to complete a second round. I’m still chasing that elusive title for X. There was also a Bonus keyword challenge attached for the month of March that I completed.
Alphabet Soup Challenge - Author Edition - This was completed in February, but still working on a second round.
Craving For Cozies - 14 Cozy Mysteries read this month. I’m about halfway through the ‘Yearning’ category.
Literary Escapes - I read a lot of books that didn’t have a definitive location, and a few that were repeat locations, but I have ‘visited’ these new locations during the month of March:
Connecticut
Hawaii
Nebraska
Amsterdam
South Africa
Cloak & Dagger Challenge - 14 Mysteries that fit their rules (100 + pages or the book doesn’t count). I’m scratching the surface in the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ category.
Mount TBR - I only managed to read 5 books from my TBR. I’m reading quite a few more ARC’s, and that’s slowing me down on this big climb. I’m nearing the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Keyword Challenge - This is different from the Bonus Monthly keyword challenge attached to the Alphabet Soup Challenge. The Challenge for March were the keywords “Dear, Ink, Mercy, Fly, Lost, Never, Match, True” I chose Mercy as my keyword and completed the challenge with the book “Mercy & Mayhem” by Ava Mallory.
A Personal Challenge of mine is to track the number of pages read. So far this year, I have read 18,525 pages.
Overall, I read a total of 19 books in March, with a year to date total of 102.
While March seemed to be a bit of a slow reading month for me, I’m doing far better than what I was reading this time last year.
How are you doing with your reading challenges?

Wait! Stop! Are you leaving the same old comment on all the blog pages? Try switching things up a bit. I love reading your comments, but if its the same thing each time... it feels like spam. And NO ONE likes spam...
