Awww good luck and this is a great way of clearing the TBR. Even better, to build it up again in the autumn 🍁 However, I would be completely useless as I fall asleep easily when reading. Do you skim read or really read that fast? Again, I'd get sleepy and then I get cross I haven't got more reading time in. 😂 Looks like a great cross section of genres etc. Have an awesome time 😊
Thanks! ☺️ I don’t skim read but in August I’ll have the luxury of being able to read in the mornings, when I’m most productive ☺️ thanks for watching, I’m excited to see how far I can get! ☺️💛
I cannot wait to watch this happen!!! As you know you inspired me to do the same in July. However, I'm also trying to build the school books for our 7-8 year olds, so I have a big stack to read over the hols, so I am including all of them. To be fair I'd include them at any other time of year anyway. I'm also picking up my shorter books on my tbr because I have a habit of not picking them typically, so it's a good nudge. Like you said it's the sustaining it. I've hit a wee lull this week after 18 days of intense reading. Plus anxiety decided to come play this week too. But I'm so grateful as my pages and books have still definitely shot up and I've had great fun.
Half a Soul is one of my favorites. I will be reading How to Stop Time within the next week. I am excited to give it a try. Best of luck with your challenge.
P.s. I bought you do your worst when you came to see me in April :P So that's do your worst, gender games, where sleeping girls lie, the shelf, the sister, thirty things I love about myself, bandit queens and the holiday escape are all because of me so Im ... sorry? I dont know!
I've joined you, you inspired me to do it. But I've chosen shorter books and I've actually done an August TBR and a spreadsheet - I wish I was this organised in my real life. Even if you can't manage it you've got a great selection there to enjoy. 📚
Good for you!! I'm finally getting back into reading physical books as the house settles 📚📚📚 I couldn't do 31 in 31 unless they were short. And that TBR won't be small for long! Your birthday always fills it up 🎉 If anyone can do 31 in 31, it's definitely you
📚📚📚📚 You can have lots of book stacks! This is a bonkers idea and I can't wait for your August wrap ups already!! Good luck! I reckon I might manage 3 in 31 😅
Good Luck Victoria. I will be having a reading blitz over the summer too but plan on reading very short books and some graphic novels. I'm sure it will be a blissful experience chilling in your hammock anyway, even if you don't reach all 31📚
Wow good luck with this! You're a reading machine so I wouldn't be surprised if you manage it, or at least get close. This also seems like a good excuse to do a LOT of book shopping in September 😂 you'll need refill that TBR shelf!
I wish you luck with the 31 and the book with three in it should be counted as three books … last year I turned 60 so I did a read 60 books for my 60 years in a year and I did 63 😊😊 so good luck with yours I am sure you can do this 📚📚📚
You can do this Victoria, you have got the determination in you to do it. I am doing a massive unhaul so if you are interested in any books to refill your tbr just let me know. I can send you some pics before I put them on Vinted if you like. Your TBR is bloody great, you have definitely got this 🤗🤗
📚 I hope you enjoy all the books! If I join in the challenge, my books will be much shorter 😄 I have some of the ones you mentioned on my TBR, so maybe I'll keep those in mind for August.
Oh my gosh ambitious!! I hope you absolutely ace this!!! Definitely not cheating to have the three Malory Towers books as three separate novels, I adored Enid Blyton as a kid!! Look at us with all of the books 😅 good luck! 📚🩵🩵🩵
350 a day is absolutely insane, but I believe in you, haha. I’ve done this last year and the year before and I might do it in September. As that is the only month I could possibly do it. Curious to see how you get along with it!
As a teacher, I’d like to ask, “Why???” I won’t be joining you on this challenge, but there are two books on your pile that I’d like to read, so I might pick them up in August. If you read 25 books in August last year, I think you will be able to read 31 this year. If you don’t, no shame. You will still have reduced your TBR greatly. Good luck 🤞🏼 📚 📚📚
That’s a very good question! 😂 I obviously love the long holiday but can also find it a bit difficult having nothing to focus on, so hopefully this will help me have something to challenge me that I also enjoy! I hope you have a great August ☺️💛
I definitely don't think you are cheating with the Malory Towers books. Have you read them before? I loved them when I was younger and need to reread. I also have The Cloisters to read soon 🙂 Good luck! 📚
Good luck! I'd love to do a challenge like this but I don't have enough books on my tbr which aren't classics! Quick Q- will you be counting DNFs as part of the 31 books?
I personally don’t count DNF’d books in my monthly reading so I won’t be counting any here but everyone does it differently ☺️ thanks for watching! ☺️💛
