In 2015 I signed up for fewer year long challenges and more short-term challenges.
Hard to believe that 2015 is over. Overall, I did well with my challenges. But this year, oy, this year. I signed up to host or participate in 8 challenges plus, COYER Backs to Basics, which started last month, is still running, and I expect I'll sign up for various short-term challenges during the year. Keeping up with my challenges will be a challenge! :D
Grab a drink, get comfy, and get ready!
COYER Going Back to Basics 2015-2016 - Goal: 12

According to my shelf at goodreads, I have 111 books for this challenge. 2 were DNFs and I'm in the midst of reading 1 right now. That's still a 6 book discrepancy but either way,I made my final goal. :) I'm doing it again this year too.

You did fantastic on your challenges! I want to read more classics and I had this idea last year for 1 a month but it didn't exactly work out. I'm hoping it will go better this year.
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read more classics. I need to make time for them. We will do better this year!
DeleteYou did an amazing job with your challenges this year! Well done! Some of them sound really appealing to me, and I even looked up a few, but in the end, I think I'm going to stick to my guns and do fewer challenges this year. Thanks for the Cruisin' Thru the Cozies reminder, though -- I forgot to sign up for that one even though I'd planned to.
