So I have a couple of different posts that talk about the 2018 Reading Challenge that I set for myself, but because they are on different posts I thought I would talk about the entirety on one post.
Ok. So the gist of it was I had a lot of books on my GoodReads To Read List, and I wanted to lower that number. I set a reasonable goal of 25 books, with the intention to just read as many as possible. But I'm not good at these kinds of things without a set goal, so there you go. I chose not to count any re-reads in the official count because I kinda consider that counterproductive. But I do have an unofficial count as well. So I'm going to list, in order the books that I have read (including the re-reads, which will be noted with a r) this year. I also noticed that I forgot about a few of them so this is the complete list (as of 12/25) that I have read this year.

*I technically started a book after Scepters and before Dead Ever After but I only made it like 70 pages into it in like a month and a half. I gave up reading it and moved on. Otherwise this challenge would have been completed with re-reads but not first time reads which was what I wanted to do.
So now GoodReads only has 46 books counted towards the goal of 25, so it tells me that I have completed (and exceeded the challenge) by 184%. But that's not counting 10 books, which makes the challenge 224% complete. I like that number!
Now my To Read list is still a lot (currently sitting at 73 books) but that was also because of re-reading 10 books, plus for some reason I have the yet to be released 5th and 6th books of Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses series on there but not the 4th; I moved one from Currently Reading back to the To Read; all of the books by Anne Bishop where not on the list originally; and for some reason I didn't have The Fiery Heart, Silver Shadows or The Ruby Circle like I had The Indigo Spell. I also added the more recently released books from both Lara Adrian and J.R. Ward. I did however delete like 5 books because they were the continuation of L.E. Modesitt Jr.'s Corean Chronicles (Legacies, Darknesses and Scepters are 1-3 of 8) because he did a drastic perspective shift by going back in time and I had grown attached to the main character/narrator for the first three. I may return to the series in the future but not any time soon.
