Alexandra Darivaki | 2 comments I didn't start on these challenges (with the intent of actually doing them) until very late in the year but since I managed to finish a few books this year I thought I'd mark my progress. I set a goal for 25 books throughout 2016 (very few, I know, but in my defence I was doing a masters this year as well :P). Out of those I believe I have ticked a few boxes in the A-Z, colourful covers and the popsugar ultimate challenge. The A-Z for me is at minimum difficulty, meaning I count everything (titles, author names - first and last). I still have a few to find in the difficult letters but perhaps if I don't manage to finish by the end of December it will be a guidline for next year. I welcome any and all comments and advice from everyone, I have seen your challenges and you are doing SO much better than me it's almost embarassing. Also, I might be wrong in some of my classifications, if so just leave me a comment! >_<

Considering you started late in the year and while working on your masters, I'd say you've done excellent! I will be posting the 2017 challenges soon, so you could even start fresh next month. :)
