I signed up for the All About Brontes Reading Challenge last year, and unfortunately, the deadline was June 30.
I only had 6 months to read or watch 3 to 5 Bronte books or movies. I had planned on reading the following books and watching the following movies:
1. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (Book/Movie)
2. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (Book/Movie)
3. The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte by Syrie James (Book)
4. Emily’s Ghost: A Novel of the Bronte Sisters by Denise Giardina (Book)
I didn’t read any of these books or watch any of these movies. I will try to read or watch some of these during the rest of the year. Hooray for deadline extensions!
I’ve been failing more than I’ve been completing these days, Serena. Must be a sign I need to sign up for fewer challenges!
I’m going to have to agree with you on that one. I need to sign up for fewer challenges…that’s for sure.
I wouldn’t consider this one a failure at all. In fact, I think you did a great job!
Don’t feel too bad Serena. I don’t think I’m going to make the mark on any of my challenges this year. I’m doing horribly.
Oh well. Good thing they don’t charge a fine. I’m posting my mid-year update tomorrow and I’m dropping one. I got a little over-zealous at the beginning of the year…
Yeah, I think I was a bit overzealous as well. Ah well.
Better luck next time.
I really thought this one was a year long challenge when I signed up.
Well, you had the best of intentions. I’m glad you have a great attitude about it and plan to read the books anyway.
Lets see if I actually read any of these books first. I have so many goals, how will I ever keep track.
The Brontes are my favorite authors and I do hope that you’ll get the chance to read their books in the future!
I’ve read Wuthering Heights, but I had hoped to read some of the other sisters’ works.
Oops, I thought it was a year long challenge. I even read Wuthering Heights, I just haven’t gotten around to posting about it. I’m going to follow your suggestion and extend my deadline!
I thought it was a year long challenge as well until I saw someone’s wrap up post!
I think that’s very inspirational to extend the deadline. Since I’m so afraid of failing challenges that attitude just might be the cure for me! :–)
It works for me…that’s for sure
