The truth is that I am reading some great books because of these challenges, so I might as well just keep going!

I finished them all (one or two a few days late), but reading became a chore, which is the last thing I want to happen because I love reading so much. At the beginning of the year I was very reluctant to sign up for ANY challenges, but I did and I'm not going to get stressed out by not finishing them or signing up for too many. LOTS of people sign up for challenges and then don't read a single book they've listed. I got really annoyed when people would tell me, Trish, you don't have to finish all of the challenges or challenges are supposed to be fun (I am very Type A personality). BUT ITS TRUE! Most importantly, Wendy, have fun!! Wendy, (I’m reading in reverse order…so forgive my comments for being “out of order”), I had a lot of stress last year from challenges.
