*Successes: I've knocked out five reading challenges so far: Library, New Authors, What's in a Name, Genre, and Women Authors.  But to be fair, they were the easy ones.  I'm hoping to knock out many more in the next month or so.  And I'm on track to hit my 75% of spots goal.

**Failures (Needs Improvement): Some of my very specific genre challenges are suffering right now (Telling Tales, Witches, and especially Historical Fiction).  I feel like these will be my leftovers at the end of the year, but I'm going to keep trying.
