How is it already halfway through the year?! As most of you know, I have been flying through books trying to reach my goal and have been having a bunch of fun doing it!
I wanted to give you a little update of how I'm doing so far. So this is week 26 (exactly halfway to 52) and I have read 36 books. However, only 26 of those books have fit into one of the categories on my checklist.
So, basically that means I'm right on track with the checklist but I will most definitely read over 52 books this year. I am also making a TOP 10 list that I update as I read a new book. I will be sharing that at the end of the year!
Here's my updated list of which categories I've already crossed off! Below is the category with the book I read to complete it.
