End of the Year Insane Genre Challenge Update: LAST ONE!! :D

So I know that I haven't done a genre challenge update since early October. OOPS. However, I have been hard at work trying to complete the challenge. I was feeling overwhelmed with trying to finish, but I'm thrilled because I will be finishing tonight! 

This challenge has been pretty difficult at times, but I loved it. I'm glad I pushed myself to read some genres that aren't my go to genres. I'm pretty open as far as genres go, but I do get stuck in the same ones sometimes. So tonight I'm finishing my last book, no matter what, and then I will be done. WOOT WOOT! 

Next year I'm hoping to take it a bit easier and not do a challenge like this. My goal next year will be to get back to blogging again regularly and to work on my writing regularly. Speaking of, if you're interested in poetry I started a new DeviantArt account and I posted a few of my poems there.  Here's the link: AngelErin30

Insane Genre Challenge Update #7

No Music Monday for today. I'm very behind and I haven't had time to write posts. Whoops! Boy, this summer has been a blogging struggle. Sorry about that friends! <3

So I SKIPPED my Insane Genre Challenge Update for the month of June. I decided to combine June and July together since I haven't read many books for the challenge in these months. I don't think I'm doing bad though since I've read 25 out of the 36 genres. Woot!! I do think I need to pick it up some if I'm going to finish on time.

Read in June/July: 

The City of Mirrors- Science Fiction 

The Little Paris Bookshop-Literary Fiction

The Birds- Gothic

Up Next:

The Bazaar of Bad Dreams- Short Stories

You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)- Humor

Stranger Beside Me- True Crime

Sanctuary Bay- Mystery

Overall I don't think I'm doing too bad with this challenge. Also, if I read all of these by the end of August then I will have read all of the ones I wanted to during the summer months. OH YEAAAAH!! If you are participating, how is the challenge going for you? If you are doing another challenge(s) how is that going for you?

While I'm not super pleased with my progress, I'm hoping to pick up the pace a little during the summer months. For anyone doing the challenge, how is it going for you? If you're doing any challenge, how is it going for you? Is anyone else struggling a little with their challenge(s)? I feel like I sure am! :P
