📚 September Reading Challenge: Books 19 & 20

AND THAT’S A WRAP! 🎉📚

I have officially finished 20 books in September, which means I have completed my reading challenge! 🥳

Books 19 and 20 were:

📖 Book 19: The Contract by Melanie Moreland
📖 Book 20: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

And somehow, despite September flying by, I actually managed to reach my goal!

Twenty books in one month is officially done. 📚✅

This challenge has taken me through romance, fantasy, drama, questionable decisions, fictional men who have caused me unnecessary emotional stress 😂 and plenty of late-night reading sessions.

There were definitely books I flew through, books I struggled with, and books that made me question my life choices, but the important thing is…

I READ 20 BOOKS.

From starting the month with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to finishing it with A Court of Thorns and Roses, September has been one hell of a reading month.

And that’s 20 books down. 🎉

Thank you to everyone who has followed along with my challenge and supported me throughout the month. ❤️

Now I think I deserve a tiny break…

Although knowing me, I’ll probably start another book tomorrow. 😂📚

September reading challenge: COMPLETE. 🏆

If you’ve enjoyed following along and would like to support the reason behind the challenge, you can still donate to Teenage Cancer Trust via my fundraising page. Every donation, no matter how big or small, is hugely appreciated. ❤️

Thank you so much for all your support! 🥰📚

Books 17 & 18 📚

📚 September Reading Challenge Update! 📚

Books 17 & 18 are officially DONE! 🎉

📖 Book 17: Dirty Like Me by Jaine Diamond
📖 Book 18: The Favour by Suzanne Wright

That brings me to 18 books read this September! 😱📚

Only 2 more books to hit my original goal of 20 books for the month. 👀

I genuinely didn’t think I’d get this far when I started, but apparently once I start reading, there is absolutely no stopping me 😂

18/20 complete! 💚📚

📚

📚 September Reading Challenge Update

Books 15 & 16 are DONE! 🎉

We’ve officially reached 16 books in this month’s reading challenge, and the reading pile is showing absolutely no signs of surrendering.

This week brought another two books to the challenge:

📖 Book 15: Craving Danger by Michelle Heard

📖 Book 16: Midnight Blue by L.J. Shen

Two more books ticked off, bringing the September total to 16 books read so far. 📚✨

The challenge continues, the TBR pile continues to grow suspiciously rather than shrink, and there are still plenty more pages to turn before the month is over.

16 books down. More to come. 💚📖

Books 13 & 14 - check ✔️

September Reading Challenge 📚💗

BOOKS 13 & 14 ARE DONE! 🎉

We’ve got:

📖 13. The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
📖 14. The Other Brother by Tierney Page

Which means I am officially at 14/20 books for my September reading challenge! 🥳

After a slightly chaotic week of decorating, I’m very happy to be properly back to reading. 😂

That leaves me with just 6 books to go to hit my goal of 20 books this month.

We are getting VERY close now. 👀

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported my challenge so far, whether that’s through donating, sharing, or simply following along with my ridiculous attempt to cram 20 books into one month. 😂📚

14 down. 6 to go. 💪

Let’s finish this! 💗📚

12 books down! 📚💚

📚 BOOKS 11 & 12 ARE DONE 📚

Well well well… look who’s accidentally becoming a reading machine 😂

📖 Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter
📖 Nothing Like the Movies by Lynn Painter

That brings me to 12/20 books 🎉💚

We are officially 60% of the way there, which is slightly concerning considering I started this challenge thinking 20 books sounded like a perfectly reasonable amount and now I’m apparently trying to inhale books for breakfast 😂

12 down. 8 to go.

And yes, I am absolutely still pretending I have a plan. 💁‍♀️📚💚

Officially half way there 📚

📚 READING CHALLENGE UPDATE: WE HAVE REACHED THE HALFWAY POINT. 📚

10 books down. 🎉

Well… technically Book 10 has about 100 pages left, but it is currently 1am, so I feel like finishing it in the morning is a perfectly respectable technicality 😂

Books 9 & 10 have been:

📖 House of Bane and Blood by Alexis L. Menard
📖 City of Mirth and Malice by Alexis L. Menard

And just like that, I am HALFWAY TO MY GOAL OF 20 BOOKS for my September reading challenge! 🥳

Considering I’m also about to spend the next few days decorating my room, I’m choosing to be extremely proud of myself rather than questioning the absolutely unhinged reading pace I have somehow achieved 😂

10 books. HALF THE GOAL.
And we’re not stopping here. 👀

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have approximately 100 pages standing between me and Book 10 officially joining the finished pile…

Tomorrow morning, we finish the job. 💅📚

And then… BOOK 11. 😈

If you’d like to support me and Teenage Cancer Trust while I attempt to read my way through September, every donation helps! 💗

Day 12 📚

📚 READING CHALLENGE | DAY 12 📚

BOOKS 7 & 8 ARE DONE! 🎉📚

Reckless & Fearless by Lauren Roberts ✅

8 books down… and somehow I’m still going 😂

I genuinely didn’t think I’d get this far this quickly, but apparently once I start reading, I really start reading. 😂📖

We’re officially at 8/20 and I’m feeling pretty bloody good about it! 💁‍♀️

12 more books to go… 👀

📚✨ SEPTEMBER READING CHALLENGE UPDATE ✨📚

We’re officially SIX books in and somehow I’m still going. Honestly, at this point I’m just as surprised as everyone else. 😂

Books 5 & 6 are DONE:

📖 Book 5: The Rebel Witch by Kristen Ciccarelli
📖 Book 6: Powerless by Lauren Roberts

And because apparently I enjoy making things difficult for myself, I’m now diving straight into…

🔥 Book 7: Reckless by Lauren Roberts 🔥

Yes, I’m reading the sequel immediately. No, I will not be taking questions at this time. 😂

The September goal is still 20 books, which means I’m currently SIX DOWN and FOURTEEN TO GO.

Is this ambitious? Absolutely.
Am I going to pretend I’ve got this completely under control? Obviously. 💁‍♀️😂

Back to the books I go 📚

Day 6 📚

Day 6: Four Books Down! 💁‍♀️📚

We’ve made it to Day 6 of my September reading challenge, and I have officially finished FOUR BOOKS! 🎉📚

I’m genuinely quite impressed with myself because we’re only six days into September and I’m already a fifth of the way towards my goal of reading 20 books this month. 💁‍♀️

Since my last update, I’ve finished:

📖 Daybreak by Autumn Woods
📖 The Crimson Moth by Kristen Ciccarelli

Which means my September reading list currently looks like this:

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ⚡
2. Nightshade by Autumn Woods 🌙
3. Daybreak by Autumn Woods 🌅
4. The Crimson Moth by Kristen Ciccarelli 🦋

That’s 4/20 books complete, with 16 still to go!

So far, I’m feeling pretty confident about this challenge. Ask me again when we get to book number 12 and I’m surrounded by half-read books, questionable snacks and absolutely no idea what I’m reading next. 😂

The whole reason I’m doing this challenge is to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust, so I’m hoping to keep the momentum going throughout September and smash that 20-book target. 💗

Four books down, sixteen to go. Let’s see how chaotic this gets. 😂📚

Books finished: 4/20 📚
Day: 6/30 🗓️
Current confidence: suspiciously high 💁‍♀️
Chance of me choosing another book before finishing the one I’m currently reading: extremely high 😂

Day 3

📚 Reading Challenge – Day 3 | Book 2 DOWN! 📚

Well… apparently I wasn’t joking when I said I was attempting to read 20 books in September because we are only on DAY 3 and I’ve already finished book number 2. 😂📚

Book number 1 was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ⚡️🪄 and book number 2 is now officially Nightshade by Autumn Woods. 🌙

So that’s 2/20 books DONE and I’m currently feeling very smug about myself. 😂

Obviously, this means I now have to maintain this ridiculous level of reading for the rest of the month… which seemed like a brilliant idea when I decided to do this. Ask me how I feel when I’m on book 17 and questioning every life choice I’ve ever made. 😂

But in all seriousness, I’m doing this challenge to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust, so every book finished is another step towards my goal — and I’m so grateful to everyone who has donated, shared my posts or supported me so far. ❤️

Right… book number 3, where are you? 👀📖

📚 September Reading Challenge: 2/20 books completed!

20 Books in 30 Days: My September Reading Challenge 📚💚

If there’s one thing you can usually guarantee about me, it’s that I’ll have my nose stuck in a book. So when I decided I wanted to take on a challenge to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust, I thought… why not combine two things I love — reading and raising money for a really important cause?

So, throughout September, I’m challenging myself to read 20 books in 30 days.

Yes. Twenty. 😂

For someone who loves reading, this sounds like a dream challenge. But when you actually stop and think about it, that’s almost a book every day and a half! So September is going to involve a lot of reading, probably a lot of late nights, and absolutely no shortage of fictional characters taking over my brain.

And before anyone thinks 20 books sounds completely ridiculous, I should probably mention that I read 179 books last year. So 20 books in a month might sound completely reasonable to me… until I remember I also have a life. 😂

Why Teenage Cancer Trust? 💚

Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity that provides specialist support for young people aged 13–24 who are living with cancer. Cancer can be an incredibly isolating experience at any age, but being diagnosed as a teenager or young adult can mean missing out on some of the experiences that should make up those years.

The charity works to make sure young people don’t have to face cancer alone, providing specialist hospital units, support, information and opportunities to connect with other young people going through similar experiences.

That’s why I wanted my reading challenge to help raise money for them.

The challenge 📖

My goal is simple: 20 books during September.

I’ll be sharing my progress throughout the month, including what I’m reading, what I think of each book and, inevitably, the occasional rant when a fictional character makes a terrible decision. 😂

I read a lot already, so choosing the books shouldn’t be too difficult. Actually finding the time to read 20 of them in just one month might be the slightly more challenging part!

I’m planning to fill September with the kinds of books I love most, while hopefully discovering a few new favourites along the way.

How you can help 💚

You don’t have to read 20 books yourself (although if you do, I would like to know about it 😂).

If you’d like to support my challenge, you can make a donation to my fundraiser, share it with someone who might want to help, or simply follow along with my progress throughout September.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help support Teenage Cancer Trust and the young people and families who need them.

And let’s be honest… I have voluntarily committed myself to reading 20 books in 30 days, so the least you can do is throw a few pounds into the fundraising pot while I sit here surrounded by books and question my life choices. 😂

If you’ve ever wanted to financially support someone making questionable decisions in the name of charity, this is your moment. 😂

Every donation really does make a difference, and I would be so grateful for anything you can give — even if it’s just £1.

So… here we go.

20 books. 30 days. One very ambitious TBR.

Wish me luck. I’m going to need it. 😂📚💚
