2010: Challenges – The Four Month Challenge Pt. 3 Wrap-Up

This was the first time I’ve participated in this challenge, and I think I didn’t do too bad.  I didn’t get 100%, but I did manage 190/250 pts. Most of my hang-up was books written in a different decade, and the couple of categories that are out of my normal wheelhouse.  I look forward to trying again with T4MC Part 4!  Here’s my final breakdown:
