Wow Carolyn well done. You certainly picked great books there, all 4 and 5 star reads!

I failed this challenge with an EASY target and only one book read. I may need some pointers from you!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Congratulations on finishing your challenge too!!

Well done Mary.

[Richard]

I didn't finish all my books, but I'm happy with my result. Had I not set a huge goal, I wouldn't have read as much as I did. Shoot for the stars, as they say. :)

The second image, Brenda, for the hardback edition.
I tried keying in the alternate name for the book, and have found the correct cover image, which successfully inserted into my earlier post. Hooray!
