Well, the first month of 2017 is done! Time sure does fly. I've had a pretty successful reading month, and I really hope to keep that up as my life continues to get a little crazier with wedding planning (I picked my dress! We ordered our Save the Dates!). Fun stuff.
This year I am taking part in 3 challenges: Goodreads (as always), Litsy A to Z and the Litsy Reading Challenge (follow me @MLVReads!) The Litsy challenges are pretty straightforward (I talked a bit about them here) and I think they will help with my ever present TBR Tackle (I think I'll stick with counting purchases made more than 6 months ago for this year and will hopefully continue to help me buy less books!). Let's check out the results!
Goodreads Reading Challenge: 10/100 (10% done!)
Litsy A to Z: 9/26 (Not counting the Shadowhunter novella for this)
Litsy Reading Challenge: 4/25 (though I haven't decided which book should be my Free Space...I didn't think about it when I just highlighted it on my makeshift Bingo board :O)
TBR Tackle 1/10 books read this month (I bought We Are the Ants last February!)
As I mentioned, I had a good reading month. I've been getting better at reading what I want and putting down the stuff that is boring me (which I did a few times this month and am grateful I did!). Here's to a great February!!!
But, books, right?

Still trying to keep book buying to a minimum, but I am proud of reading a couple of the books I bought not long after getting them. I'm trying to be more realistic about what I purchase physically (I have a lot less guilt about eBooks, considering I usually get them for less than $3) and I've been doing a decent job.
