2010 Challenge wrap-up

Ok really quick: the challenge links are not updated! I link them so you can see the rules and the blogs they came from in case you want more info. I didn't go back and put in the books I read because I DON'T HAVE TIIIMMMMEEEE!!!! :)

 

100+ Challenge: I read 94 books. this is not counting books I read for school, books I read half of, and… well, books I just forgot that I read.

 

ARC Challenge: I read 29. My goal was Bronze level (12) and I ended up going Gold! Woot!

 

Audio Book Challenge: I read… five… sigh. Horrible, considering how many audio books I have. Some books I started the audio but didn't finish in audio, and that brings it up to more like ten or twelve. still.

 

Contemporary Romance challenge: Goal: 10. Read: 13. well I have 13 marked on my labels. I'm sure I've read more than that. I'm a sucker for romance <333

 

French Historical Challenge: my goal was 4. Counting the two half-books I read and the one whole that had a French character in it… that puts be at… 2. sigh. sad because I love the French! I even ranted about my pathetic French history on the challenge page (my ancestors were chicken thieves. I'm not kidding.)

 

Historical Fiction challenge: my original goal was 6, I read 15. Some of them I only read parts of, but hey, that's still way over my goal. I guess I like historical fiction.

 

Jane Austen Challenge: this was the challenge I hosted this year. It was a great hit, there were TONS of sign-ups. I WILL BE HOSTING IT AGAIN!!! so look for a new post soon.

 

anyway: My goal was the lowest level: two J. Austen books and 2 re-writes, spoofs, etc. I ended up with one Austen and three Spoofs, mostly because it was what I had on my tbr list. However I did purchase this beauty, and hopefully I'll do better on this challenge in 2011 :D

 

Read Your Name challenge:

HALEY (five books) and I ended up with an H and an L. I didn't finish the L. Maybe my name sucks for this challenge, maybe I just forgot to mark my labels :P

 

Romance Reading Challenge:

Well. The goal was 5, I have 6 marked, but that's because I forgot to keep marking them… I read A LOT more romance books than 6. probably closer to 25. like I said above: I'm a sucker for a good love story :D :D

 

Vampire Series Challenge: my goal was 6, I read 3. I didn't have a lot of time to read what I wanted this year, I mostly read what people sent to me :\

 

What's in a name challenge: I honestly think I forgot about this one, so I may have met it and I just didn't label my posts. Anywhoo! I was supposed to read 6 books, the titles having one of these: food, water, title/position, musical term, place, and plant. I read water, title, and song. :\

 

Won books Challenge: I won SO MANY BOOKS and read 2 of them. I suck.

 

So there you go. keep your eyes open for the challenges I'm hosting this year!! I've got some fun stuff.
