I am happy to say that I have completed my first ever Challenge! YAY me!! This was a ton of fun and it took me a bit longer in the year to finish that I had thought initially. Most of the books were already from my ever large TBR pile. I only had to find one book and that was the jewelry or gem in the title category. Thanks to Alice, I didn't even have to buy one!
I will most definitely be doing this challenge again in 2012. I found that it's a great way to clear some books off the TBR pile and perhaps explore a book you might not have read.
Thanks to
Beth Fish Reads for hosting this challenge!
