My intended goal: Read 12 books during the time period
Challenge Completed?
Yes!
I ended up reading 36 books and 1 novella during the time period, and of those books that I read I ended up writing 17 reviews, although those were not necessarily posted during the time frame.
So, those are my 2014 Challenges. I ended up completing most of them, which I'm happy about. However, going into challenges next year, I saw Cassi mention in her recent Top Ten Tuesday that one of her New Year's Resolutions was to link up to challenges for the updates. And I thought about it... and I never did that this year. Seeing as that's part of the challenge, I'm hoping that when I sign up for 2015 challenges, I can try and keep updated on them as well. I've been updating the 2014 Challenges into a new system of organization and so I've checked back on the challenges and updated the scores here.
I hope 2014 was a good year, and best wishes for 2015! See you next year in the Paper World!
From the paper world,

You did great on finishing majority of your challenges. I sign up for way too many, but I cut down this year and I'm hoping to participate in the challenges more I completed 24 of the 28 challenges I joined this year.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Good luck with your challenges this year :)
DeleteI have never really participated in challenges (aside from the Goodreads one). I feel like they put too much pressure on people. (hmmm...I sense a discussion post coming from that statement...). But congrats on finishing most of yours! That's super impressive! I kind of want to look at all these challenges and see if I completed them even tho I never signed up... lol
ReplyDeleteYay for another of your discussion posts! I think for me the challenges aren't something I pay super close attention to, but I like them because it inspires me to read books I may not get to otherwise.
