Fall into Reading: Wrap Up

On Friday, I finished my first ever reading challenge. Okay, so I picked only 7 books for this challenge, but I'm still excited about finishing. Thanks so much to Katrina for hosting this. My wish list grew insanely long because I read almost all the reviews posted by the other participants. What a great community!

I was warned that challenges could be addictive. A glance at my current and pending challenges (in the sidebar) will tell you that I'm hooked. I've tried to hold back a bit because I'd hate to have my reading totally restricted by challenges. Still, it's great fun to set goals and meet them.

Fall into Reading doesn't end until until fall does, so I'll continue to post reviews on the challenge site. If you're interested in the rules of the challenge or in seeing the reviews, click here.

    Congratulations! I still have 4 books to go - the problem is I don't have one of them yet - I may have to modify my list.

    Way to go! I feel like I've been stalking you all night! I must be right behind you in visiting all the Fall Challenge wrap-ups! I may be way over my head in this year's challenge! Hopefully, I can overlap quite a few books.

    Challenges are fun. I always start out with a few and then just keep adding to it as I go along!

    over the past year and a half i've found that challenges are definitely addictive! i like Katrina's Fall into Reading and Spring Reading Thing because they give me a lot of leeway in my picks. happy reading!
