Monthly Update – February 2012

February

Bookshelf bingo started again at Goodreads.com on 5 February. Five of the nine books were for the game, and I was happy that I could squeeze in a few extra between shelf announcements. Plus, I managed a bit of variety, too.  There was a glitch during my reading. One of the books I picked had pages missing in the middle!  I had to choose another book for the game while waiting for a replacement copy.  I completed it at the beginning of March.

As I stated yesterday in my monthly Reading Has Its Rewards update, I haven’t done as well as I hoped with page totals, but I’m pleased with the points tally so far.  I’m not sure I’ll make 80 books by then end of the year, but I’m confident that I will make reach the lower goal of 65 I’ve set for Goodreads.  Something I noticed after I posted the update:  I’m pretty sure I will meet the “25 books by 30 April” milestone goal.

Since bingo requires some type of write-up/review in order for the teams to get their stamp, I’ve been pretty good about cross-posting those here, so I don’t have the same issue I had last year.  I’ve fallen a bit behind with the cross-posting, but that’s nothing compared to what was left unwritten at the ending of last year.

I’m still happy with my progress with the various challenges.  Once bingo ends, I will assess my status and try to wrap up some of the shorter ones early.  At the end of March, I will official make the RITA challenge a perpetual one.
