Third Quarter Review 2018

I saw a quarterly stats review on both Geeky Zoo Girl and Curiosity Killed the Bookworm. I really like this idea so I'm going to do my own version!

Third Quarter Books(July-September)

I had another really good reading quarter; I gave these books an average star rating of 3.9 stars. I only DNF'd one book. There were three 5 star books: Bossypants by Tina Fey, In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken, and Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant To Be by Rachel Hollis.


Genre breakdown
This quarter sci-fi and historical fiction were my top read genres. Though many of the historical fiction had elements of fantasy to them, they were manly historical. I even dropped a middle grade book into the mix.

YA: 9 (60%)
Adult: 5 (33.3%)

Reading Goals Update!
Goodreads goal: 27/25 books (ahead) - I did it! I hit my goal this quarter. Naturally, I'll continue reading through the rest of the year. Let's see how many books past my goal I read! (Goodreads counts all the books toward my goal, but I'm only counting books I physically read, which is why this count is different from my official Goodreads count.)

Finish the Series: 6/8 series (on track) - I only finished one series this quarter, but it was one that I also started this quarter so that's something. I'm feel certain that I'll complete this goal by the end of the year, maybe even surpass it.

Read it or Leave it: 3/21 books (way behind) - I don't think I've made any progress this quarter, which just goes to show you that I'm not really interested in many of the books on this list. It may just be time for me to say goodbye to some of these. I'll definitely know by the end of the year which ones I do want to keep.
