Christian Genre Challenge ending!

Well, with tomorrow comes the end of 2007, and also the end of the Christian Genre Challenge. So, how'd you do???

Personally, I finished 4/5 books, so I didn't do too badly! I had great hopes of actually finishing this challenge, given I was so close! But, unfortunately, I got pretty distracted in December (as usually happens), and didn't read much of anything this past month.

So, here's what I *did* finish from my list:

  1. THERE IS MORE TO THE SECRET by Ed Gungor (nonfiction)

  2. REVEALED by Tamera Alexander (western)

  3. THE BEST GIFT by Irene Hannon (inspirational)

  4. FEARLESS by Robin Parrish (suspense)

  5. COURTING TROUBLE by Deeanne Gist (historical)



I'm happy with this. I may not have finished the challenge, but I got real close, so that's good enough for me. ;)

Leave a comment with how you did!

What's new...

I was on a real reading streak throughout November... I got 5 books read!

  • Safe Dieting for Teens by Linda Ojeda (A.R.C.), rated: B

  • The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde, rated: B-

  • A Lady's Guide to Rakes by Kathryn Caskie, rated: A

  • Revealed by Tamera Alexander, rated: B+

  • Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling, rated: B+



Currently, I'm having a hard time focusing on, and getting "into", any book. I think that, because the holiday season is basically upon us (all the get-togethers & parties & planning), I'm just not going to get much more reading done for the remainder of this year.

Right now I've got bookmarks in both The Wise Woman by Christian Jacq, and The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. I'm *trying* to read them, but like I said, it's proving difficult. I get a chapter or two read, here and there, but that's it. So, we'll see.

I've read 45 books so far, this year, so that's okay. Better than last year! But, still not quite where I'd like to end up -- I was / am aiming for at least 52 books. :-?

On a happier note, I'm getting excited about the new reading year! I love starting fresh with new goals, and a new pile of TBR books! Speaking of which, the well-loved TBR CHALLENGE is returning for a second year! Sign-ups begin DECEMBER 15th, 2007 for the 2008 year, so there's just one more week to go! I can't wait to post the *official* post about it on the challenge blog, as I know a lot of people have been anxious to sign up! :-) Soon, folks! Very soon!

Last but not least, I have announcement! As of January 1st...
