@Annerlee & @Anne

Thanks, I would have finished earlier but kept putting off last book, who knows why because ended up enjoying it lol.

I was also more creative than strict with some of the categories so that I could shove in books I was going to read anyway challenge or no challenge :p

I actually really enjoyed the challenge, having a challenge/aim motivated me to read so much more than I have for years.

Congratulations! There are some really interesting ones on your list--A Universal History of Infamy and even Housekeeping vs. Dirt! I was pedaling fast to read the Kahneman book for Antonyms, too, and was really enjoying it, but then had to return it to the library.

I only have one left--if I can get a friend tomorrow to recommend something a little shorter than The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, which is the friend recommendation I'm currently working on, I should be able to finish too.
