2011 Reading Goals/Challenges Wrap Up

I'm going to apologize in advance....

you may not really be interested in this post, but I need to post it somewhere

so I can keep track of what I did last year. =)

I attempted five reading challenges in 2011.

Page to Screen Challenge - Goal: 5 books, Actual: 3 60% Completed

Nicholas Sparks Challenge - Goal: 3 books, Actual: 2 67% Completed

1st in a Series Challenge - Goal 6 books, Actual: 6+ 100% Completed

Spring Reading Thing - Goal 10 books, Actual 8 (+6 others)

Fall Into Reading - Goal 11, Actual 7 (+1 other)

I also had a Goodreads goal of reading 60 books this year....I completed 57, 

which I pretty proud of considering I read all those HUGE Outlander books.
