2014 Hub Reading Challenge discussion

I finished the 25-book challenge a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to start a thread for people to post when they finish the challenge. I still have two new and twenty-two re-reads to go before I conquer the challenge, so I'm not quite there yet. :D

Great idea, Jenni! And congrats on finishing! Since I'm administrating the challenge as Hub Manager, I'm not OFFICIALLY participating, but I'm reading along and am cheering everyone on. I love hearing everyone's updates!

I'm finished! Great books this year!

Woohoo! Congrats!

drumroll, please ...

I have officially conquered that challenge! All forms of congratulations, especially cookies, can be sent directly to me at the librarian's desk at the middle school where I work. :D

[BTW, Allison, I never got my "Conqueror" badge last year - any chance you know where to find those?]

Congrats, Jenni! Wow, a conqueror! Sorry to hear you didn't get your conqueror badge last year-- I'll look into it! Thanks for letting me know. And again, congratS!!

This is my first year doing the challenge and I just finished! Whew! It was a lot tougher than I was anticipating. There were some great reads and some not so great reads, but overall, a great selection that is sure to please readers.

First time doing this challenge and I am finished! Loved the selection of books, there were very few that I did not get really into even if it took me a little while. Definitely going to try this again next year!

Yay! I'm so glad you had fun! I love it, as it's a great way to find fantastic books to read. Plus for my job, but it's mostly just fun.

First time doing the Challenge and I loved the selections of books- I will definitely be involved next year!

Finished! I enjoyed the books overall, some stand-outs being Midwinter Blood and all of Markus Zusak's books. I will definitely be taking part again. I still have some books from the challenge on my TBR list.

I finished my 25th book on Sunday, Zombie Baseball Beatdown.

I finished my 25th book this morning, Go: A Kidd's Guide to Graphic Design.

While I finished 25 books awhile ago, I kept reading a few more that came in and was glad I did (and there are couple more titles I still hope to get my hands on!). I enjoyed almost all the titles, and I think the best thing was discovering new authors to follow. Cat Winters, Andrew Smith and Gavin Extence are all authors that I loved and hadn't heard of. Very worth it, I will definitely participate again next year!

I finished my last book this afternoon and have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. Though I had wanted to read several books on the list I hadn't gotten to them and this was an excellent opportunity. I will participate next year too.

I guess I missed the deadline this year but I'm still reading the books from the list and using them for my teen book club selection...great titles! Maybe I'll try again next year!
