Great job, Cynthia! Thank you, as always, for your leadership on the challenges.
Thanks so much for doing this Cynthia.Although I didn't get to participate very much, I enjoyed making my list, reading a few new books, and keeping up with the thread.

I kept trying but it doesn't seem to work...
Wow Cynthia, it seems like you do alot of work for these challenges. It was alo of fun. Thanks! I read more books the past 3 months than I read the previous 3 years. Acutally probably even longer than that.

Here's your link http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x2... if you click on this it should take you to it.
It keeps hyperlinking it and cutting off part of the address so I had to put it in 3 lines to show all of it. If you put all that together then it works.
Thanks Cynthia! As usual, you exceed all expectations!

Wow, that is soooooo beautiful!!! Thanks a lot!
I'm such a nerd. I love seeing my name in print! :) Thanks again Cynthia for all that you have done. I love these challenges.
Yay! This is awesome! Thanks so much for all you do in organizing these challenges! I want to print my out and put it on the fridge or something. :)Also, I love the stats! It's interesting to see how participation increased from the last challenge. I can't wait to see how the summer challenge compares, too!
It's hard to believe how much the participation increase from the winter. At the rate people are reading for the summer, I can't wait to see what the next stats will be as well.
CynthiaThanks so much for doing all the hard work on this challenge and keeping us all on the straight and narrow. I had no idea what to expect when I started this, but it has been such an enormous amount of fun--the feverish search for books, the frantic reading, the feeling of community as we read each other's posts.
It's so great to "meet" people who are as rabid about reading as I am--and to see most of them again on the Summer Challenge.
thanks again Cynthia! how funny my task was second least popular!!, nevermind .. i think that those that did it enjoyed it.

Jon- while I didn't complete your task, I did start it. I enjoyed the book (sex with the queen) but I didn't have time to finish it. It was an interesting task but 400 pages was hard to meet. I would have had to read another book to make up 35 pages...
Jon wrote: "thanks again Cynthia! how funny my task was second least popular!!, nevermind .. i think that those that did it enjoyed it."I enjoyed both yours and El's task. I don't read non-fiction very often, so it's nice to branch out and reading other things for a change.
thats ok girls - i know 400 made it tough!
But then again, it is called a challenge for a reason ;)
The certificates are so cute! :D I can't believe how much effort you go through for this Cynthia. It's so great :)I didn't finish quite a bit but I still plan to read everything I didn't. Some of the books I plugged right back into the summer challenge and the rest are still on my tbr list.
Cynthia- Thanks for an awe inspiring job!!!
