  2. I know, and I'm not quite sure how that happened! The minute I know I "have" to do something is the minute I cease wanting to do it. (It's when I'm told I can't that I really kick into high gear.)

  4. Well done. Like you I'm pretty rubbish at doing things I "have" to do but you seem to have done well despite that!

    I didn't sign up to any last year apart from teh GR reading challenge.

    This year I've signed up to three - a classics challenge, a TBR challenge and a challenge to read those big old bricks - whilst drinking copious amounts of tea.

  5. Well done - lots of variety! Hope you found some great books there :)

  6. Fiona, the classics challenges are always very alluring to me. But, I have to be careful to not get over committeed; plus, I have to save room for my own challenges!(The Japanese Literature and the Venice this year.)

  7. Sam, I did, but I will write about them separately in the End of 2011 post. Whatever that will be called. ;) It's such fun to read everyone's wrap up for the year.

  9. JoV, thanks for hosting the Myth challenge! I still have a book I bought for it (The King Must Die by Mary Renault) which I want to read. Perhaps in 2012? XO

  10. WOW. Such a big bunch of challenges and you finished them ALL! I still need to read 2 more books: 1 for the Chinese Literature Challenge and one for the jewelry/gem category in the What's in a name challenge. Hope to get there in time!

    (Oh, and I'm not mentioning I need to finish 4 books in the next 10 days to reach my goal in the +11 in '11 challenge..)
