Success and Failures: A Look the 2011 Reading Challenges
I went a little overboard with the reading challenges last year....10 in total plus my own going reading challenges the Agatha Christie Reading Challenge and the Alphabet Mystery Reading Challenge. Some might have questioned my sanity, no some did, they told me they did. It was a lot but challenges are fun. I was successful on a few (4), came close on one, and completely failed on others.
