Ah,
Books and Movies, my two favorite things next to food. I did a bit worse than I thought I would, primarily because I was quite slacking on reviews. Alas, what can you do?
Books/Movies Read/Watched: 9
The challenge ended way back in June, but I didn't manage to read all of the
Sookie books by that time. Currently, I still have the last published book, number 10, to read...I'm hoping someone bought it for me for Christmas. :)

The
GLBT challenge has been one of my favorites of the year. Consciously choosing to read books about GLBT characters or by GLBT authors has been a fascinating way to broaden my really old white guy reading.

Reading Young Adult novels is so not a problem for me. I love them without guilt. They are exciting, entertaining, and easy reads.
Books Read: 54
Reading for the NonFiction Five got me thinking about the type of nonfiction I read, and I tried to branch out a bit into different areas. I ended up reading a pretty good mix.

The
Hogwarts Reading Challenge had me classifying the books I read into studies at the wizarding school, which I found to be tons of fun. I seem to be doing really well in Defense against the Dark Arts, but sucking most dramatically at Herbology.
Points Gained: 369
An absolute favorite of mine, the
R.I.P Challenge takes place over the best holiday of the year and encourages reading the best kind of book - dark. I only read four this year though and managed to completely dump out on the movies. In my defense, there were some real life issues at the time.

I knocked the 100+ on its behind this year, finishing more books than any of the previous years I've been blogging. This is in large part, I think, due to the amazing suggestions I get from fellow bloggers.
Books Read: 142
The problem with the potions and herbology categories is that they involved reading a cookbook and making a recipe from it!! Um...I never read cookbooks or cook...
ReplyDeleteAmanda - LOL! Me either.
