TTT: How am I doing on my 2023 yearly reading goals? An update.

Top Ten Tuesday: 
How am I doing on my yearly reading goals for 2023? Let's see...


For an explanation and a list of all my yearly goals, follow this link.

2. The Pulitzer Personal Challenge

Read two of the National Book Award winners or finalists.
These books aren't announced until November.

4. Discussion Challenge
Post 1-10 discussion starters.
3 completed.

5. Goodreads challenge
Read 110+ books in 2023. I've read 118 and counting.
COMPLETE!

6. Classics Club
Read at least five classic novels. I've read ten+.

Based on my reading goals for the year, I have a minimum of  4 specific books I still need to read, four super past due reviews to write (which usually involves some rereading), and I'd like to start at least two more discussion posts. I'm feeling pretty good about where I am right now.
