Catching Up- What’s Been Happening – Part One

 An Attempt at Catching Up!
Ok so the question before me today is – “How do I get back to blogging again after taking a month or more off?” I think the way I need to do it is to first try to catch up with what’s been happening on my Life’s Safari over the last two months and then create some challenges for the rest of the year.
Basically, there are maybe four aspects of my life that I blog about: the books that I read, the music that I listen to, the ways I attempt to turn back my biological clock and my family. My family blogging includes both my current family and my past family, I learn about through my genealogical research.
Now I will attempt to catch up on all that’s been going on in a number of posts. Here’s a brief summary of what I hope to be writing about in those posts.
The Books I’ve Read
My 2018 Reading Challenge goal was to read 65 books. Currently, I have read 50 of those books. That means in order to reach my goal of 65 I need to average five books per month over the last three months of 2018. Well actually I need to read six in one of those months.
The last book I have written about was book 46. Loner by Hildur Sif Thorarensen. It is the first book in her Oslo Mysteries series. You can read my review here.
Two of the other books that I have read are from two of my favorite authors. The first book 47 was Desolation Mountain  by William Kent Krueger,while book 49 was Lost Creed from Alex Kava.
The two other books I read were written by authors whose work I am reading for the first time. Book  48 was Caged by Ellison Cooper. While my most recent read, and book 50 for 2018, was Two Girls Down by Louisa Luna.
Caught Up- Needed Reviews and New Mini-Reading Challenges
Now I need to create some Mini-Reading Challenges for the coming months. Obviously the biggest reading challenge is to read 15 more books. But I have also created several challenges concerning the types of books I want to read. You can read about those challenges here. Over the next few days, what I need to do is review all the books I’ve read. Then see which Reading Challenge that book meets to ultimately see what types of books I need to include in those final fifteen books.
I have now caught you up on the books that I have read. Hopefully, I will be posting reviews of each book over the next week. Along with a couple new mini-challenges I need to create to try to meet my various 2018 Reading Challenges!! Once again wish me luck!
