Well, I didn’t finish the Countdown Challenge. Oh well. I tried. Hard. But for some unknown reason I really struggled with it. When I signed up I thought it would be easy to accomplish, especially since I joined late and it was retroactive to August 2008 and I had so many books already done. However, I didn’t do too bad; I completed 39 out of 45 books which is 86% complete. Not bad in my opinion. I’m going to sign up for the second year of this one (which starts today) and try again 🙂

I found 2005 and 2009 the hardest to finish. Good luck next year, I’m trying again too.
2004 was the hardest group for me. I ended up reading three of them in the past five days!
I’m going to play next year too. Good luck!
