This was my first time doing year-long reading challenges, and I thoroughly enjoyed the 'guides' for reading. Obviously, since I've signed up for 5 challenges for 2012. Care to join me? Click the 2012 Challenges tab above and check 'em out!

What challenges did you participate in during 2011? Did you complete them? If not, do you feel bad about it? (I don't, just curious).

Stay tuned...My "Best of 2011" post and some vague plans and goals for 2012 are coming soon!
