Well, I didn't make my goal. I didn't really expect to, but I didn't think I would have such a hard time in August getting in time for reading. However August ended up being much more brutal than usual. The start of school is always a busy time but it also tends to be one of my better months for reading. Not this year as it turns out. It's a rough time for teachers.
Nevertheless, I did manage 14 books last month and all of them YA, so I made up some ground. I'm now only a month and a half behind on YA lol.
Ok, so this month is a long, long list. There's about 30 YA on there so I can keep working on my YA deficit. There's also a 10 deep urgency list tacked on to the end. I'm very behind on my library and TBR reads. I'm going to need to take a break to finish out my TBR reads before the next cycle comes up. I'm hoping the stress rating on September is going to be a little more reasonable than August was.
