"Wrapping" up 2014 challenges

[Lori Z]

I was just wondering if anybody else was feverishly reading to wrap up challenges before the end of the year? I decided I really want the Buzz Lightyear badge for the chunkster challenge, so I'm doing an emergency toppler and trying to read 12 books since the 20th. I've got 5 done and now that Christmas is over I'm very hopeful I'll be able to do it.
So anybody else out there being obsessed (or is it possessed) by a challenge?
Hope I'm not the only one! :)

Yeah, I'm reading like crazy this week too, in the hopes of getting my Taz's Trouncers badge. I've got two books to go!! Good luck to you, Lori Z!!!

[Lori Z]

Thanks, Ann! It's a relief to know I'm not alone, haha. Good luck and happy reading!

I've been on a reading marathon as well.

My personal "To Infinity and Beyond" challenge requires only one more book. Glad to see people are still striving for the Chunkster Challenge goals. That is a fun challenge.

I just declared my "In A Land Far Far Away" challenge completed as of the 23rd of December, although I was hoping to "visit" more than 25 countries.

Just finished my 2014 GoodReads Challenge today, at 203 books for the year.

I also have a by-the-year type challenge that is short by 21 books. That one is not going to be complete by year-end. But I am determined to get them finished before moving on, so trying to squeeze as many in as I can! Want to get to my Serial Killing occupation as soon as possible!☻

Wow! 200 books in a year! That is very impressive! I'd like to increase my reads in 2015...Any advice in how to do that Almeta? You're obviously a seasoned reader!

[Sandra, Moderator]

Yes, it's impressive. Specially because many of them were chunksters!

[jaxnsmom]

Sorry, but I can't stop laughing ☺ I'm so far behind on so many things, and I haven't even calculated my chunkster combos and links. Hoping to get that done this weekend.

[Tejas Janet]

Okay, so breathe in, breathe out. Every day is a new beginning. You can let go of the old, and move on to the new. It's okay! You have permission.

Congratulations on a great year of reading Almeta!

I'm cheering you all on. If I was at home I'd be doing the same thing but not going to happen on hols.

We've just gotten into Hobart and escaped the in laws down to a pub in Salamanca place. Catching up on the wifi and thinking about all my failed reading challenges.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I don't even know how many challenges I'm behind on (or failing!) right now. I haven't had a chance to update with my reading from November and December. I'm hoping to do so tomorrow.

The only challenge I am trying to get completed, that I have updated, is my A-Z challenge. As soon as I finish Jurassic Park, I'm done! So, I'm good with that. However, I have very little reading time over the next week and I don't have access to the audio to listen to on my work commute, so it's going to be close!

[Mariab]

I was complaining precisely of that last week. And I dont speak of year challenge, but poor, short, small month's challenge

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself. I have finished all the challenges I set for myself except the ebook challenges. I just need one more ebook, and if I finish the one I'm currently reading, I will finish that challenge too.

No leftover stew challenge next year! Wooot!

[Stephanie]

I didn't join many challenges till close to the end of the year (my first one was the Toppler in October). I can't wait for the new year and all the challenges that await me within this group! I just hope I make sure to not overload myself, lol!

Lol, Stephanie! It's easy to do with all the great challenges with this group. I have to say, though, that between the challenges, topplers and monthly reads I've knocked quite a few off my tbr pile this year. (We just won't mention all I've added to the pile, hehe)
