I can't believe it's been over a month since my last TSS post. Today I decided to post about my challenges. The year is coming to an end, and it's time to reflect on what I did in 2008 and set goals for 2009.The challenges that I joined this year are:
* The 1% Well-Read Challenge - I've read 5 books, reviewed 4, and have 5 left to read. Yay!
* The Book Awards II Challenge - I've read and reviewed 1 book, and have 9 left to read. Yikes!
* A Midsummer Night's Challenge - I read and reviewed both books for this challenge. Yay!
* The July Book Blowout Challenge - I met (and exceeded!) my goal of reading 10 books during the month of July. Yay!
* Life Books Challenge - I have not read the three books I chose for this challenge. Yikes! I'd still like to complete it, even though the challenge is long gone. The books sound interesting, and I love the challenge concept.
The challenges I have signed up for in 2009:
* 100 Shots of Short - no time limit, no required books, just reading 100 short stories
* The Well-Seasoned Reader Challenge - read three books dealing with food, travel, or culture
* The YA Book Challenge - read 12 YA books
* The Year of Readers - donating money to a literary charity
Wish me luck! :)

Yikes! :D
It is alright... challenges are there.. but it is not really necessary to complete them ALL! :)
I could never read under pressure :)
:)
Good luck, Jessi!
wow, look at all those challenges. i always want to participate but i can never stay focused long enough :-)
Good luck on all your challenges! I keep thinking about joining, but I'm afraid that would take the fun out of reading. I tend to have an "I'll do it because I want to, not because you tell me to!" attitude toward...well, almost everything. Because, you know, I'm such a grown up!
The short story challenge looks interesting.
I see we signed up for some of the same challenges: YA, Year of Readers, Book Awards 2, 100 shots of short. Good luck on your challenges and congratulations for being the winner over at "Stuff as Dreams are Made On"!
