Mid-Year Reading Challenge Update (Buzzword + HRCYED 3.0)

It's time for my mid-year reading challenge update! Today I'm checking in on my progress for both of BooksandLala's 2026 Buzzword Reading Challenges (Cover and Title), sharing the books I've completed so far, discussing my ratings, and revealing what I still plan to read before the end of the year. I'm also diving into HRCYED 3.0 (The Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do), including some of the prompts I'm most excited about, the prompts that have been the trickiest to plan for, and my overall strategy going into this massive reading challenge. Whether you're participating in the Buzzword Reading Challenge, HRCYED, the r/Fantasy Bingo, or any other reading challenge, I'd love to hear how your reading goals are going so far this year! 📚 Are you participating in any reading challenges in 2026? Let me know in the comments!
