2015 Challenge Review

#bookishtalks

So This year I had a bunch of Challenges I signed up for.  It was my first full year of blogging and I went into it with pie in the sky dreams of what I would accomplish.  

Yep.  I Lost.  Almost all of them.

I’m not sure why I signed up for some.  Like I did a Debut Author, Series Finishers, and TBR Challenge, which none of those overlap and I didn’t finish any of them.  I didn’t even read a Debut Author this year.

The Alphabet Soup challenges were much more difficult than I thought they would be.  After I got half the letters filled in, everything I read was a repeat.  I am apparently prejudiced against half the alphabet.  

I finished the Audiobook and Fantasy Challenges with books to spare.  Granted, most those books were crossovers.  My two random challenges were fun.  It was a different way to look at books, but I still didn’t finish them.  

And my resolutions?  I only read 30 of the 60 book goal I had for the year.  I think I was a little more diverse in my books this year, but not a ton.  I started graphic novels and read one light horror book but mostly stuck to my fantasy genre.  

Overall, I liked the challenges because it gave me some goals to work toward, even if I didn’t make it.  I should have my challenges for 2016 up soon, so we’ll see how I do.

So how did you do with your 2015 goals?
