July Checkpoint! #TBRYear10

Hello, TBR Pile Challengers! 

My apologies for the six-day delay in getting this post up. As the White Rabbit would say, “I’m late for a very important date!” I hope your summer (or winter) is going well. We are now officially in the second half of our annual challenge, and I’ve seen and read a lot of awesome updates and reviews for challenge books. We’ve got more than 130 links posted, which is on pace with where we were last year! Thank you for sharing your reading with everyone!

Congratulations again to Michelle from True Book Addict, who won the last mini-challenge! We will have another one coming up in August, so be sure to check back then!

My Progress: 6 of 12 Completed

In this last month, I finally got caught up with reviews, bringing my total reading and reviewing to six of twelve. I’m almost done with Book 7, Why I Write by George Orwell, and I’ll have that reviewed before the end of this month, which will bring me to “current” status of 7 books in 7 months. There are only two weeks left of school left, too, after which I have a long leave of absence to enjoy reading as much as my heart desires, so I will absolutely be caught up in the near future. Maybe I’ll even finish early for a change!

Books Read:

1. The Poppy War (2018) by R.F. Kuang (Chinese Historical Fantasy) (Completed 1/10/23)
2. Pachinko (2017) by Min Jin Lee (Korean-American Lit Fic) (Completed 2/12/23)
3. Look (2016) by Solmaz Sharif (Poetry/Iranian-American) (Completed 3/10/23)

How are you doing?

Below, you’re going to find the infamous Mr. Linky widget. If you read and review any challenge books this month, please link-up on the widget below. This Mr. Linky will be re-posted every month so that we can compile a large list of all that we’re reading and reviewing together this year.
