Usually I do these updates immediately after the quarter ends, but since I had that dreadful blogging/reading slump, I forgot to do it in September. At least this extra month gave me the opportunity to make excellent progress!
First up, we have the A to Z challenge, and I've only added 2 books I think. Recently I made a quick index of the letters left and which books on my TBR could fit these letters and let me tell you - X, Y and Z should be removed from the alphabet 😂 I ended up making my own rules on what counts and what doesn't so I don't care anymore 😂

Next up is the Key Word challenge! There's only one prompt left for me, and that's the March one which I plan to complete very soon by reading Needy Little Things.

Moving on with a challenge from the same authors, and that's the Motif challenge. I DID IT!!! I'm so happy because it was one of the trickier challenges for me. The prompts were very detailed and sometimes require you to find a specific plot line. I had so much fun trying to sort through my TBR and find everything that fits.

Rainbow Challenge is ALSO DONE! Guys, I'm on a roll 😂 This one was fairly simple, I just waited for the right book by reading books for my other challenges.

Next is the Read With Allison Challenge which I think I'll never do again simply because keeping track of it is such a hassle. If it were the only challenge I was doing that'd be fine, or at least one of two. Since I have so many challenges, this one seems over the top. The prompts don't excite me too much so I think I won't be doing it next year.
When it comes to progress, I only have 3 prompts left, thank God 😂

Then we have the Buzzwordathon Cover Challenge, which is another one I finished 😍 I had so much fun doing it, and I plan on adding it to my "regular" challenge list and doing it again next year.

Last but not least is the 25 Books In 2025. I added a few books but the problem is, I DNF-ed 2 and I don't know what to do now. Do I replace them again?? I already did this once so I don't know which books to choose. These are supposed to be books I'm extra excited about and I already added all of those. I'll have to think on it some more.

To sum up, I ended up finishing 3 challenges! I'm so happy that I've managed to do it 2 months early so I can focus on the harder prompts and generally just take a slower pace. The one I'm doing the worst in is definitely 25 Books in 25 because I keep DNF-ing books from it 😂 The A to Z one is the second worst, but I have a plan in mind so I'm not particularly stressed about it. All in all, I'm very satisfied 😄
How are you guys doing in your challenges?
