  1. Congrats and good job. I really liked glancing at your year in books. I had to break down and sign up for the 2017 Horror Challenge after seeing it was being hosted by new people. I love that genre and any excuse right? You read such a variety of books (like me) so it’s always fun to see what you’ve been up to!

    • It’s always fun to see what others are reading and it’s a great way to find some of those hidden gems. I’ll be looking for some new horror read ideas from your challenge. Happy reading Barb.

  2. Wow, you have some serious dedication to reading challenges! Congrats! I read a lot of books but I don’t think I could stick with specific challenges for a long period of time. I can barely keep up with my review commitments! I love the alphabet soup challenge though. How fun!

    • I just started doing some in 2015 and other than Goodreads, last year is the first time I did any good. A lot of the books are easy, because I would read them anyway, but the challenges do make me stretch my wings. Thanks for dropping in Aimee and happy reading.

    • Thanks Kimberly. I love horror too and the cozies…they are fun to read, though they do lack the blood, guts and gore that I am so fond of…sometimes need to just be able to relax while I read, instead of biting my nails and sitting on the edge of my seat. LOL

    • I just can’t seem to stop reading. I don’t have time to review all the freebies, but I have started adding them to Goodreads and rating them. If I have a chance I will come back with a review. ‘shrugs shoulders’

  6. Nice job on the challenges! I’ve joined a few this year after sitting out 2016. 🙂 The Alphabet Soup challenge looks fun, and I like an occasional cozy. 🙂

  7. What an impressive achievement, Sherry! You certainly nailed your 2016 challenges with style – and they were so ambitious… Best of luck with your 2017 reading challenges:).
