My 2012 Reading Challenges goals were kind of a big bust! Of seventeen challenges I committed to, I only succeed in five of them! Eeek! Of course, has that stopped me from considering a badrillion more in 2013? NOPE.
A-to-Z (26 books) : Only made it to 'O' and I have at least one letter with an outstanding review. Ooops!
Bloomsday Readathon : Fail! (I got the book, but didn't open it.)
Books in Translation (3 books) : Fail! Only read 1.
Clarissa Group Read : Fail! (Didn't even get the book! :/)
Dewey Decimal Challenge (5 books) : Victory! Read 12.
E-books (25 books) : Victory! Read 29.
Edgar Awards (3 books) : Super epic fail. ZERO.
Europa Editions (2 books) : Super epic fail. ZERO.
Fearless Poetry (1 book) : Super epic fail. Zero.
Forever Amber Readalong : Fail! Bought the book though!
Gothic Fiction in October : Super epic fail.
Historical Fiction (20 books) : Super epic VICTORY! Read 63! Beat out last year's best, too!
Immigrant Stories (3 books) : Victory! Read 15.
NetGalley (10 books) : Victory! Read 20.
RIP VII (4 books) : Fail. ZERO.
Victorian Challenge (2 books) : Victory. Read 5.
Witches and Witchcraft (5 books) : Fail. Read 3.

I'm impressed that you signed up for so many challenges! I signed up for two, participated for a couple of months, then promptly forgot about them. Thus I think I won't sign up for any for 2013!
ReplyDeleteI saw 6 victories! That's better than my record with challenges.
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked at my numbers yet...trying to put that off for as long as possible :p
ReplyDeleteHahaha, that's hilarious! I love it. This is why I don't assign myself specific challenges, so I can just be like:
ReplyDeleteI read these things: VICTORY!
awww :-) are you going to give Europa another try in 2013? I hope so!
ReplyDelete8 challenges in which you didn't read one, versus 9 that you at least attempted and read something for is pretty good for the large number of challenges you joined. Congrats! I posted my wrap-up today and the poetry 2013 challenge for 2013 yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great end of year!
I gave up on formally signing up for reading challenges because I could never accomplish them (or then those weren't actually a challenge!), so I think you did great:-)
ReplyDeleteSome of these challenges sound like fun!! I am signed up for the Immigrant one already...that AtoZ sounds good...but the link back to the creator doesn't seem to work...are you doing that one again this year?
ReplyDeleteKrystyn -- I was going to but also saw that the creator's webpage doesn't work so I guess not! :/
