Challenges Completed
- Romance Challenge -- Five romance books down. Not the best selection, but fairly entertaining.
- Eclectic Challenge -- Twelve different classifications. The only one that gave me any trouble was the last category for me to read: new adult. Finished and done.
- Zombie Challenge -- Only six zombie books this year, but I do always love some zombie...
- Witches and Witchcraft -- An interesting collection of books.
- Blogger Recommendations -- Ten interesting books recommended by other book bloggers. Found some gems in here...
- Graphic Novel -- Another successful year of comics and graphic novels. I can't wait to see what I discover next year.
Comments - A decent reading month, but I ended up reading a lot of books that weren't on my original list. I've got an ambitious list for December. I highly doubt I will get to all 12 books, but I'm certainly going to try.
