Goodreads Reading Challenge 2026 [July]

August 1, 2026 — Leave a comment

In July, I knocked out my last couple of summer themed cozy mysteries, and I’m ready to dive into the ones set in autumn. I think I’m actually going to make a TBR just for October (starting with Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes). But that’s neither here nor there at the moment…

Anyway, here are the books I finished this month!

The Resting Place (Camilla Sten)

Rating: 4/5

Beth is Dead (Katie Bernet)

Rating: 4/5

The Starless Sea (Erin Morgenstern)

Goodreads Reading Challenge 2026 [May]

May 31, 2026 — Leave a comment

I read eight books this month! I’m getting back up to my usual speed, which is pretty amazing considering how busy I’ve been.

I’m still on track to finish the challenge, but I don’t know if I’ll be increasing my goal like I had to last year. If things stay this hectic (in a good way this time), then I’ll barely reach 80.

Anyway, here are the books I finished in May, with my ratings.

1. The Island (Natasha Preston)

Rating: 2.5/5

2. Odd Hours (Dean Koontz)

Rating: 3/5

3. What Moves the Dead (T. Kingfisher)

Rating: 4/5

4. Dead Girls First (Zia Rayyan)

Rating: 3.5/5

5. The Queen (Nick Cutter)
