Year in Review: 2012

2012
has been a great year. I’ve been blogging for almost three years now and
am always humbled when I read your comments and see that I have new
followers. I have been introduced to so many great authors and books as
a result of blogging. Thank you to all who visit my blog.

My top reads of 2012 are (in no particular order):

So,
here are my stats for 2012. Overall, I completed156books (that
includes audio books) which is the most I have ever read in one year! I
also participated in some fun challenges that caused me to alter some
of my reading habits – all for the good.

Challenges participated in that have ended:

2012 100+ Reading Challenge

Goal: 100+ books

Completed: 126 books (did not include audio books in this challenge)

Support Your Library Challenge

Goal: 37 library books

Completed: 53 books

Off the Shelf Reading Challenge

Goal: 30 books

Completed: 28 books

E-Book Reading Challenge

Goal: 12

Completed: 12

Historical Fiction Reading Challenge

Goal: 15

Completed: 15

1st in a Series Reading Challenge

Goal: 6

Completed: 6 + 10 additional

Finish the Series Reading Challenge

Goal: 3

Completed: 3 + 4 additional

Cruisin’ Thru The Cozies Reading Challenge

Goal: 13

Completed: 13

Audio Book Challenge

Goal: 29

Completed: 25

Of the 9 year-long reading challenges that I participated in for 2012, I completed 8. Once again, I didn’t meet my goal on the Off the Shelf reading challenge – but I did make a dent in those books sitting on my shelves. Maybe 2013 will be the year I make that goal.

In the next few days I will be adding the challenges that I plan on participating in during 2013 – they are a combination of ones I’ve done before and some new ones. I think at last count, I have 11 that I will be signing up for…perhaps I need to sign up for the Reading Challenge Addicts Challenge (which would make 12!).

Thank
you again to all my readers – I love reading and sharing with you my
thoughts on the books I read. I also love reading all your blogs. I
look forward to seeing what 2013 brings for my reading.

    Looks like you had a really good reading year! I'm selecting my reading challenges for the upcoming year too and ooh boy, I thought I was going to slow down on them, but there are too many that I like.

      I know – there are so many good ones out there. I actually decided to not do some that I thought I would…I want to challenge myself, but don't want to stress myself out trying to complete too many!
