I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

2016 Challenges

I've given up most of the challenges I was hosting but if no one takes them up, I'll do them another year. They've ALL found new homes! Other than that, nothing has changed in regards to joining challenges. I'm still not going to pretend to be realistic in what challenges I sign up. Maybe someone who missed the originating post will see mine and they'll be tempted to join up too :-) I'm still shaking my head over the fact that it's already November and I'm just getting around to posting this. Now to find challenges for 2016!

Hi. I did the library and picture book challenges this year. I wasn't planning on doing the library one again. I'm always checking books out, so the library challenge is basically redundant for me :-) If someone else takes over the picture book one, though, I will be in again.

And I'm taking the plunge and hosting a challenge for the first time net year. Please take a look and let me know if you are interested:
