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.
