2011 Challenge Roundup

So my first year of blogging is almost finished and during the course of the past year I participated in 2 challenges. I logged my progress for these challenges on the page tab above as I went along.

And now to the results...



My first was to read at least 100 books in a year. Result - 101 books read. SUCCESS!!


My other was the Debut Author Challenge to read and review 12 debut books in 2011. Result - 15 read and 13 reviewed. KIND OF A SUCCESS!!


Links to the books I read and my thoughts on them for these challenges will be kept on on the dedicated page until the end of the month and below. So how did you do with your challenges?


2011 Challenges

Debut Authors Challenge - Hosted by The Story Siren

Books must be a Young Adult or Middle Grade novel.
DO NOTE: Just because a book has a teen character or is about a teen, does not mean that it is necessarily a Young Adult novel.
This must be the authors debut with a release date in 2011.
If an author has a previous novel published under adult fiction/nonfiction or children's fiction/nonfiction, they can still qualify for the challenge if they are releasing their YA or MG debut.
