Reading goals update: third quarter

This year is going by so fast. It feels like just last week I posted the second quarter reading goals update, mostly because I forgot to do so until September. Here's the first quarter's reading goals update as well. 

July

• a physical unread book that is sitting on my shelves - kind of, as I read a book I bought from the thrift store earlier this year (Mooncakes). ✅
• reread an old favorite book or series - yes, I reread Flat Stanley. It's not a favorite favorite but I'm counting it anyway. ✅
• read something by a BIPOC author - I believe two of Mooncakes' three authors/illustrators are people of color.  ✅
• read an ebook from Apple - I did not do this.
• read something thematic (seasonal, themed day/week/month etc.) - I read Mooncakes for Disability Pride Month. ✅
• read a library book - Project Hail Mary was read as an ebook on Libby via my public library. ✅
• something that is not prose or a usual genre I read (poetry, comics/graphic novels, essays, short stories, etc.) - Mooncakes is a graphic novel. ✅
