Challenges

Here is the list of the few challenges that I started and completed during 2009.  It is not a very long list, as I hesitated joining any challenges.

• 1. Looking for Alaska by John Green
• 2. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

I had hoped to read four books for Banned Book Week Challenge but I managed to read two books in one week, and the challenge only asked for us to read one.  I think this was a definite success.

• 1. Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
• 2. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
• 3. The Shimmer by David Morrell
• 4. Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
• 5. From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris
• 6. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
• 7. The Awakening and The Struggle by L. J. Smith
• 8. Grace Hammer by Sara Stockbridge
• 9. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
• 10. The Fury and Dark Reunion by L. J. Smith
• 11. Nightfall by L. J. Smith

Carl's RIP IV Challenge was the very first challenge in which I participated.  I had signed up for only four books and ended up reading eleven!!  I'm really looking forward to doing this one next year!

• 1. Sweet Mary by Liz Balmaseda
• 2. The Man Who Loved Books Too Much by Allison Hoover Bartlett
• 3. Across the Endless River by Thad Carhart
• 4. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
• 5. Everything Sucks by Hannah Friedman
• 6. The Missing Ink by Karen E. Olson
• 7. The Imposter's Daughter by Laurie Sandell
• 8. Playing House by Fredrica Wagman

The Fall Into Reading Challenge was another one in which I participated because I hoped to get some books finished that I had been meaning to read for a few months.  I signed up for eight books and ended up finishing them all.  Success!!

Like I said, it wasn't a big list, but I'm happy to report that I finished every challenge I started.  Now for 2010!
