Looks like a nice list! I hope you have fun. I never finish all the challenges I set up, but I learn a lot in the process. It's ok to do as much or as little as you like. I'm glad you joined the challenge.

[Philina]

Have you read 9 already? What an amazing start, Natalia!

[Natalia]

Thanks so much Lynn! I think this year I´ll finish easily.

Philina, yes, but I was almost done with 3 before the year started. Also I had an accident in December and could not move much during the Christmas break, I´m already slowing down :D.

[Natalia]

Updated after ages. I started a second one, but highly doubt I'll finish even half of it

[Cynda]

Looking good Natalia :-). I have The Graveyard Book on a long list fir me too. I try to read some Gaiman books several times a year.

[Natalia]

It was my first, but I think I'll do the same for now on :)

[Natalia]

I finally finished the Bingo! I thought I wouldn't manage after a long reading break, but at the end I was able to catch up and even progres in the second one.

Congratulations, Natalia! Doesn't it feel great to have finished your challenge by reading all those wonderful books?! Yay!
