2008: Challenges – Fall into Reading 2008 Wrap-Up
Well, this challenge was a bust for me! This was my list:
- Any Given Doomsday – Lori Handeland
- College Girl – Patricia Weitz
- The Gone-Away World – Nick Harkaway
- Guernica – Dave Boling
- Like Glass – Matthew Cory
- Matrimony – Joshua Henkin
- Devil’s Brood – Sharon Kay Penman
- Living With the Truth – Jim Murdoch
- The Rest of Her Life – Laura Moriarty
- The Charlemagne Pursuit – Steve Berry
I only finished four! Well, really I read more than 10 books in that time, but since the point of this for me was to read review/ARC books that I had, I’m not going to change my list just for the sake of completing the challenge. I did finish The Charlemagne Pursuit yesterday, so it almost counted! The good(?) news is that I’ll be rolling over the 5 I didn’t get read to the Winter Reading Challenge.
I think the reason I didn’t get these read is that my reading actually slowed down considerably this fall. I think it was a combination of running out of time and other things getting in the way. I also read a few books that sucked up more of my time than normal.
Out of the five books I did get finished (counting The Charlemagne Pursuit), I think my favorite was Joshua Henkin’s Matrimony.
Don’t feel bad – you’re not alone. I didn’t finish it either.
I woudn’t consider it a “bust” at all – congratulations on what you accomplished during the challenge!
I didn’t finish any, so you did WAY better than I did. 🙂
🙂 that’s alright 🙂 reading books is the thing… 4 or 9 is always good if u enjoy doing it 🙂
