*Successes: I've knocked off some more challenges.  Yipee!!! Plus a few others are very very close to being completed.  In fact, I plan on completing the zombie challenge during October's FrightFall Readathon (and possibly Dewey 24 Hour Readathon).  I've also got an end of year plan to complete most of the challenges.  I don't think I'll get them all, but I want at least a 75% on total challenges.

**Failures (Needs Improvement): Scifi, Telling Tales (fairy tales), historical fiction, and Outlander.  For whatever reason, these just fell by the wayside.  I want to focus on these, but fear that at least two won't be completed (definitely Outlander, maybe telling tales).  I know the color coded challenge will not be finished and my Mount TBR challenge will not reach 150 by year's end (that would be almost 100 more books in three months.  Even I'm not that voracious of a reader).
