Birthday Bucket List – October

Hi all,

Autumn is here and it’s certainly brought the colder weather with it! If you are a regular follower then you will know that I created a bucket list to complete this year because I am now officially 30! I had to revise it due to COVID-19 but I’m still making good progress. Shall we see what I crossed off this month?

23. Have my NetGalley Feedback ratio at 100% – Current NetGalley ratio is 94%. This has increased from 76% at the start of the year. I’m so pleased to be in the 90’s. I only have 6 ARC’s left!

25. Grow strawberries
26. Sight see in London
27. Go on a train

Total 23/30

I’ve managed to cross one more off this month and I that leaves 7 to cross of the list by the end of the year. The NetGalley ratio will be my biggest achievement so I’m looking forward to completing that however I think there are definitely a few I could make some more effort with. I really need to start reading Philip Pullmans’ Dark Materials before time runs out!

What would be on your list?
