  1. Pretty sure I blew this challenge out of the water but I've failed miserably at my Goodreads challenge of 200 books!

  2. Renee,

    I'm pretty sure you did, too. :o)

    And we're in the same boat...I failed the Goodreads challenge this year, too. I set a goal of 125 books since last year I read about 110, and thought 125 would be a piece of cake. Um, not. Right now, I'm at a lowly 87. :o(

  6. I didn't officially sign up either, but I am participating. I took the 25 book challenge and am now reading #25! It is funny that I have only read 3 on your list. There are a lot of historicals out there.
