I read some TBRs as part of FraterFest although I wasn’t able to post due to no internet.
I exceeded my goal of 15 per month and am happy with the number of TBRs I read; although I still have more to do.
At the end of October it looks like I was 14 books ahead on my 2018 Goodreads Challenge with 149 of 160.
Total read = 20; TBR = 12; New Authors = 16

Audio/Audible = 11 (6 TBRs)
eBook = 7 (6 TBRs)
NetGalley = 2 (0 TBRs)
Print = 0 (0 TBR)
