4/16 Norse Mythology (an author's works and also counted to my bookclub genre bingo- need a short story collection and I think this counts!) When I listed 16 books that was the number of titles I needed to completed challenges so I guess some books will count as more than 1 as they satisfy more than one challenge?


message 74: by Megan BG (new)

Megan BG (meganbgreads) | 1562 comments I missed a book that I need to read this year, so my book goal is actually 21.

But I've now completed 4 of those.

Rescue Your Finances: Make Your Money Work for You

And chipped away at a challenge.

Anissa Michaud | 287 comments Wow, I have been kind of lax and all over the place with my challenges this year. It seemed to have taken me FOREVER to even decide on the goal for my yearly reading challenge (10 books). I would like to at least complete my overall yearly reading challenge but will look to complete 5 books in total. This challenge seems quite helpful for finding some semblance of order. Let's see how we go!
