TBR Bingo: End of 2018 TBR Recap

Towards the end of last year, I made a list of the books I wanted to read before it was 2019. I ended up reading 24 books from the time of that first post till the end of the year which means I made my goal of reading 20 books before 2018 ended. Overall, I feel like I did well on reading books off of my TBR list. Out of the 20 I said I wanted to read, I was able to complete 10!

These are the books I read:

The Random Unread Kindle Books

The Rereads

The End of 2018 TBR Books

 

I loved all of the End of 2018 TBR books I read and that doesn't happen often! A couple of them even made my favorites of the year list. Sadly, I did not achieve a bingo on my card but I got really close in a couple places.

Overall, I feel like I ended the year the way I wanted to reading wise and managed to also metaphorically flip off The Year of the Reading Slump by doing so. I read SO many great books towards the end of the year! Hopefully, I can keep that momentum up for all of 2019!

What was the last book you read in 2018?

TBR Bingo: End of 2018 TBR Update

I posted back in November a list of books I want to read before it's 2019. I made the goal to get fifteen books read before the end of the year and I was hoping that most of them would be from that list I made. In typical Rose Red fashion, I made myself a TBR Bingo card to help motivate me to get things read.

 

As you can see on my card above, I included all of the twenty books I listed in my previous post plus Romancing the Inventor and three Random TBR Book spaces.

I'm happy to report that since I posted that list I've read eighteen books! I've made my goal of reading fifteen books before it becomes 2019. Of those eighteen books: three are rereads, eight are from my TBR post, and the remaining seven are random unread books I had on my Kindle. Here is what I've read so far:

The End of 2018 TBR Books

I can't begin to tell you how good it feels to be reading again! I'm so happy with my progress so far. The best thing is that I still have 21 days left in 2018 and can totally get more books read! Currently my Bingo card looks like this:

Ideally, I want to read the fourteen remaining books on this card but in case I don't I have picked out the six I NEED to read by the end of the year.

I'm about a third of the way through Exit Strategy and I love it so far! And I'm really excited to get to the other five! I should easily get all of these done before the year ends. I'll do a wrap-up of how I did overall at the end of the month. Fingers crossed that I can keep up my forward momentum and read as much in the next three weeks as I did in the last three.

What books do you need to finish by the end of 2018?
