Hello bookworms!!
20 Books of Summer has come to an end which means it’s time for me to share with y’all a final update on how I did. This challenge took place from June 1st to September 1st and it’s hosted by Cathy from 746Books. Prior to this year I attempted this challenge and failed both times and I only set my goal for 10 books those times. This year I decided to try for the full 20 books. Did I manage to read all 20 books? Read on to find out.
- The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
- The Wrong Kind of Love by Lexi Ryan

In total I managed to read 15/20 books I put on my TBR. While I didn’t read all 20 books I am still really happy with what I did read for 2 reasons. The first reason being this is the best I have ever done while attempting this challenge and the second reason being this isn’t all of the books I read over the past 3 months. In addition to the 15 I read from this list I read 27 more books. I could have easily switched out books and said I completed the challenge but I wanted to stick to the original TBR I set to see how much I could actually read. So while I didn’t read the full 20 from this list I am still counting this as a success.
Did you participate in this challenge? How did you do? How many books did you end up reading? Will you be participating next year?

Another successful challenge Misty. I did read my 20, but I switched out two of them. I did it right at the beginning though, so I count it as a success as well.

You’re allowed to switch!! That’s amazing that you read all 20. I thought about switching but I wanted to make it harder on myself and just stick to what I initially chose and I am really happy with what I accomplished.

I try to not switch them out, for the same reason as you did. But shortly after I made my list this year, there were two that I thought I had on my kindle, but couldn’t find, so I switched them out.
