- What's in a Name 6 -- I didn't think only 6 books would be hard to complete, but somehow it took me all year. But I will be adding this to my challenges for next year.
- Back to the Classics -- Difficult but I did it and read some great classics.
- Mixing It Up -- 16 books from 16 different genres. Loved it!
- Historical Fiction -- I never get to it until the second part of the year, but I do love this genre.
- Seasonal Reading Challenge

Comments
I ended the reading year with a bang. Look at those numbers! I am very excited about my progress. And while I didn't finish all the challenges that I started, I still think my completion rate is pretty awesome. I'm hoping to start 2013 well with some great books.
