Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

PM's Halloween Bingo - Summary of Goals
Well. Not only has the Halloween Bingo been fun, it has really advanced this year's reading goals! For the game, I at least started and "finished" (with reviews) 32 books: 20 audios, 3 ebooks, and 9 bound books. Of those, I DNF'd 5 (one with the intention of going back to try again later), but completely read 27 (25 squares +2 wild cards).
Goals:
- 13 books knocked off my 2018 TBR mountain
- 10 previously unread books from my physical bookshelves*
- 1 book from my "remembering dad" project
- 2 Book Riot's "We Need Diverse Books"
- 2 Banned books
- 0 Nancy Drew
- 0 Public Library physical books
Not bad for 7 weeks of reading! I do need to step up my borrowing of physical books from my public library - I borrow plenty of digital media, but I know the library depends on borrowing stats to maintain its funding.
*One book from my physical bookshelf doesn't count as read/completed, because I pulled it down, looked at it closely, and decided to just put it in my donation box unread because I didn't really want to read it. It was a freebie that I picked up somewhere, years ago, and had been cluttering up my bookshelves since. It counts to my bookshelf TBR project because it's an unread book removed from my shelf. I'm only letting myself buy 1 new book for every 2 I take off my bookshelf in an effort to keep myself from being buried in books.
