It’s been two months since I started working on the Hardest Reading Challenge You’ll Ever Do (HERCYED) 2.0. 
 
While I’ve been putting up reading lists for each prompt, I might not always read exactly as planned. Part of the challenge for myself is trying to do as many of these prompts as possible using the books that I already have on hand. This is my round up of what progress I’ve made so far: 
 
Completed Prompt: Subgenres of Choice (in August)
 
Completed Prompt: 24 Hour Reading Challenge — Read as many books as you can in one day, from waking to sleeping. Goal is at least 3. I was home sick the day that I did this prompt, so I didn’t get nearly as many done as I’d hoped.

Books Read: (A total of 672 pages)

• Sport for the Baron – John Creasey (I really enjoy all of the Creasey books I’ve read and recommend them as popcorn books)
• Nimona – Noelle Stevenson
• Wolf in the Fold – Simon R Green (Hawk & Fisher are just such fun.)
• STARTED: The World’s 100 Best Short Stories (“Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, “The Red Room”, and “Kari Aasen in Heaven”

In Progress: 

• By the Hundreds: 3/7
• Series Staircase: 4/10
• The Last 10 Years: 3/10 or 11 if you want to earn +5 points
• Adaptations: 4/8
• Around the World: 2/7
• Spooky Creatures: 1/8
• Become the Avatar: 1/4
• Animals: 3/5
• Queer Alphabet: 2/9
• BIPOC Authors: 3/10
• New Releases: 2/12
• Challenge Yourself: 2/??
• Non-Fiction: 3/5

So, I’ve definitely found myself reading a lot more because of this challenge and I am getting through my TBR. All in all, I think this has been a good challenge to take on even if it’s one more piece of stress I probably shouldn’t be taking on.
