Well? Well? How did you do? For those who may be wondering what in the world is the Summer Reading Challenge you can read here for a quick recap.
Remember this was NOT a contest nor a race. This was just about trying to read more. So all you challenge participants, did you meet your goal? What was your favorite book? Would you participate in a reading challenge again?

OK well my goal was 21 books and yes I did read all 21. Unfortunatly I did not go over. It was quite the struggle to finish them all but it was a busy summer. I did try to break up the usual genre and read some quite interesting books. Some I liked some I din't so much however, I am not sure what was my favorite.
Well, my goal was 8 books. I think I only finished 6! I few books shy, but hey, things happen. There were a few weeks during this summer that were spent, well, being a sick newly preggo gal. Happy that's all over, but there were many non-productive days in there!! What can you do?!
Kudos to all of you who met your goals!!
Well, I set a goal of 21 (because there are 21 letters in "Summer Reading Challenge", and I only read 15. Toward the end, I was slow getting books from PBS so...
What fun! I can't wait for the next challenge!
My goal was 15 books. I read 18!
I am really thankful that you suggested we challenge ourselves. I have always loved books and reading, but this challenge gave me a reason to really dive in to the books this summer! And, I have been continuing since the challenge ended. So, in a way, you have renewed my love of reading!
As far as favorites go.. that is tough. I really liked My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, and Divine by Karen Kingsbury.
Oh, and as far as non fiction goes, Facing Your Giants by Max Lucado was excellent!
And, I just finished a book today, Sophie's Heart by Lori Wick (after the challenge ended, but I must recommend it- such a good story!)
Congrats on surpassing your goal!
I had no goal. Give me more time and I'll be able to have a goal. I hate not having time. I really do. I'm just not in the best mood today at all. Anyway . . . .
You are the one good with words. . . I'm waiting for you to put together some ideas for me. You have till Wednesday, lady.
My goal was 10. I read 8 1/2. I've finished 9 1/2 now. I should have number 10 finished by Thursday. Close, but no cigar!
