Challenge Wrap-up

As you can see from my side bar, I didn't finish a single reading challenge I took on. I did a lot of reading this past year. GoodReads is showing me at 60+ books. Which is actually kind of amazing as I was mostly reading at night for short spans of time, before bed. However, I didn't actually get in any books that would fit into the challenge categories. Sad.

Technically, I could fudge it and say I completed the fantasy category as many of the books I read are by definition fantasy, but I think it would be a stretch. Just because it has fairies doesn't automatically make it fantasy. So I'm saying no to that one.


Plans for the future? I am not going to take on any new challenges this year. I will be keeping my Gilmore Girls and TBR buttons up. They will mostly be a reminder to me as I plan on reading novels from my own book shelves. My husband and I collect books. Our bedroom is lined with shelves over flowing with books. We have decided that we need to start weeding through these books and then pass them on. Which means reading them first. So we are challenging each other to read off our shelves. Which is convienent as many of the books on my TBR and the Gilmore Girls list are already on my shelves. Yay!

2009 Reading Challenge Wrap-up

Shortly after starting this blog in July 2009, I decided to tackle a few reading challenges.  I joined two that were already in progess and created one of my own. Here are the results:

This is the challenge I created. Luckily, I was able to complete my goal. How bad would that be....not completing your own challenge Does this ever happen?

5.5 completed out of the planned 5

This is hosted by Callapidder Days and technically I've already done a post about this.....but you all don't mind if I repeat myself briefly....right?  I completed this challenge, but only with substitutions. I made a list of 12 titles, but do to library due dates and wanting to read other books that original 12 got thrown out the window. I did definitely read over the 12 books though. 

12 / 12  with the help of substitutions

Beth Fish Reads is to blame for my newest addiction. I love, love, love the Sookie Stackhouse books and this was the challenge that introduced me to them.
