Suzanne, could you include finish dates and number of books read, too? Thanks!
I'm done :D I just updated today! I usually never finish challenges and I nearly never do as many as I have been for this challenge - now I'm hooked to challenges! I keep telling myself I won't do any challenges and then I catch myself signing up for them anyway.

I updated my list; I'm at 50 challenges complete this year so far!! Yay!
Fantastic Valorie :)
That's great! :D
I updated my list (post #87). I'm so glad I started doing the monthly challenges. I'm at 23/36 and if I continue to complete 3-4 a moth, I'll meet the goal.
Woo Hoo! I just marked off challenge number 40 from my list! I was only 2 shy at the beginning of the month and now I've gone over.
Woohoo!! WTG, Diane! :D
Hooray, Diane!
I disappeared for a couple of months (family stuff - all good now) and I'm hoping to catch up but I've got a quick question: can I still count my GR challenge? I've changed the amount down to 50 from 200 as I barely read for 2 months and I was freaking myself out with such a large goal.
Glad to hear everything's good Nairabell :DI don't see why not. I personally don't include it, just have it there at the top so I can see it. But I know several people have included it. The fact you've reduced the figure is immaterial. As challenge is a challenge and 50 books is nothing to sneeze at :)

Thanks Sandra :) I'll have to try to figure out what challenges I managed to complete. I know I managed to finish the RRRC Chubby Chunkster challenge without noticing - which says a lot about Kelley Armstrong's books.
Hi, Nairabell! Good to "see" ya back. Glad all is well. I'm one that included my GR challenge. It is a 2011 challenge after all. :)Congrats on the CC challenge completion.
36/36 done for this challenge! Update made to my original post - message 99. Actually, I've finished 40 out of 55 - I think I'm just a bit too addicted to challenges :)
Congrats, Joann! Addicted to challenges? You and me both. :)
