  1. You did terrifically with all your challenges! Well done! I'm also impressed that you can keep track of all those challenges.

    I did pretty well with my goals, but fell apart on some of the challenges I took on (except the Goodreads Reading Challenge and Cruisin' Through the Cozies.) This year, I'm going to figure out a better way to keep track of them -- and maybe not take on quite so many. Any suggestions for keeping track?

    1. Well, I utterly failed at lining my reviews at the host blogs. :D

      As for keeping track, I try to remember to include the challenge label in each blog review and I use goodreads. I make new shelves with the challenge labels and track titles that way. At the end of the month, I go down my READ shelf and that tells me what I read for each challenge.

  2. You did pretty well with your challenges. They are fun to participate in, aren't they? Good luck in 2014!

  3. I will be skipping reading challenges this year except for the goodreads one. My initial goal was to help me clear my ARCs but it didn't quite accomplish that plus I got lazy posting updates :D

    Happy new year!

    1. The updates can be time consuming. Good luck with your ARCs!
