Rules I hold myself to:
- the same book may appear in multiple challenges
- the same book can only appear once in each challenge
- author origin will count towards "visiting" a country but if an author didn't grow up in said country the author might be replaced later

I don't think I'll make my 100 books. :P

So I obviously wasn't going to make 100 books this year so I cheated and re-set my goal to 75. ;)

I don't consider that cheating! Sometimes we just can't make it to our original goal because we were too ambitious or life got in the way. 75 books is still a huge accomplishment. :)

Thanks Cassandra!
I know you're right, but it still feels like I'm cheating myself. Oh well, we live and learn, I set my goal at 60 books for next year. ;)

So my yearly challenge for 75 books is completed, too bad I didn't reach my personal sub challenges. Oh well, I'll continue through december and then there's always next year. ;)
