August felt like it started off pretty strong with the end of Booklikes-opoly, but I think things tapered off as the anticipation for Halloween Bingo 2019 started building up.  I had wanted to insert another book after finishing Death in the Stocks... but didn't want to be stuck trying to finish a non-Halloween Bingo book when Halloween Bingo officially started.

So instead, I spent my time watching YouTube videos, creating new planner layouts for the rest of the year, and taking up habit tracking as a new thing.  If anyone is curious about what I've been up to, I blogged about it in my Bout of Books 26 Wrap Up post.  There are photos involved and other links as well.

Meanwhile, now that September has started, so has Halloween Bingo 2019, and I'm pumped and already ecstatic about having finished two books already.  I hope I can keep up this pacing, but I'm sure my reading will be sporadic.  But no worries, there are a lot of books I'm really looking forward to reading, so I'm optimistic!

Other Stuff

So I'm going to try to keep up with my Halloween Bingo updates as well as I can, but the main goal will just be to read and review.  I've been working on setting up how my tracking page will look, but I think I might end up falling back on some old, tried and true stuff I've used before.

Meanwhile, there should be another review coming up soon, and I'm also still going to do a mid-Bingo summary as well as an end-of-Bingo summary in October.  Otherwise, I don't really have a whole lot of plans for the next two months outside of reading, reading, and reading some more!  =D
