Challenges Completed

  • 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
  • Fantasy 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.
