Another year, another long list of reading challenges.  I told myself that 2014 would be the year of no challenges, but that didn't quite turn out the way I planned.  Instead, I entered a ton of challenges still keeping the original idea of reading from my own stacks.  Doing good so far.  I thought it would be a good idea to do a periodic checkup on my reading challenges.  A way of reminding myself of my successes and failures.  So here goes…

**Failures (Needs Improvement): Ugh!  I really need to get moving on some of my perpetual challenges.  I think I need to refocus my TBR list a bit for the rest of the year.
