What do you have in store for 2014?
Congrats on completing the Ireland Challenge! I’m sorry I pretty much failed as a challenge host this year. 🙁
Carrie…Will you be hosting again?
I’m not, but Colleen at Books in the City talked about taking it up – here’s her link: http://booksnyc.blogspot.com/.
Wow, you did a fantastic job with your challenges!! All the best in 2014 🙂
I limited the challenges I participate in…that’s why I did so well.
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thanks Kathy. Same to you!
Happy New Year! You had a great year in books and did way better than I did in challenges. I didn’t even finish our challenge. 🙁
Why don’t you tell me when you want to read Persuasion, and we can read it together…maybe host a readalong? Just not this month, LOL. I have an annotated version I want to read!
I will let you know when I decide to read Persuasion.
Happy New Year to you all!
Thanks, Jill.
