In 2011 my challenges were set up in anticipation of finishing both of them with ease. I have to admit that the Labor Day wildfire put a kink in that plan for my challenge of reading books already on my shelves as half of the books burned so that challenge is a failure. However my goodreads challenge was met and well exceeded as a lot of my books were e-copies on my Kindle, both review books and books that I had gotten either free or bought to read as the authors were ones that I have followed from regular books to their e-reads.

there were 82 books on this challenge and I got to read only 45 of them or 54% prior to September 4th wildfire that burned up the rest of the books.
2011 goodreads challenge was completed as read my 200 total plus 94 more, even though they say it was only 284 total my read in 2011 shelf says 294 total. Equaled out to 142%. Not sure why the difference in opinion on the same site!
2012 my challenge is for 300 books, so far by the time this posts will have read about 5% or 15 or more books. Wish me luck!
What about you, how did your reading challenges for last year work out? Fail or complete? How about this year, what are you going for in total numbers to read?
