Challenge Wrap-Ups: One-Book Wonders

December14

A few of the reading challenges that I entered this year required only one book to complete. As such, they don’t really each need a separate post to report.

SUCCESS!

I thought this would be a whole lot easier, given the number of foreign language books being translated into English. (And given that I had committed to read Montaigne’s essays – which didn’t happen.) But, in the end, unless I’ve missed something in my year’s reading, I needed to obtain a book just to fulfill this challenge.

Terry Pratchett Reading Challenge 2012Sir Terry Pratchett Reading Challenge
SUCCESS!

I honestly had no idea what Terry Pratchett was all about when I signed up for this challenge. I soon found out he’s a master of fantasy – and that’s a genre I’m not too enthralled with. I was thankful that I had signed on for only one book – and I read that.

PhotobucketBooks I Started But Didn’t Finish
FAILURE!

There was only 1 book that I started in 2011 but didn’t finish, that I had hoped to complete in 2012. That was May Sarton’s The Magnificent Spinster. Alas, it’s been so long now, if I ever get back to this book, I’ll have to start all over again.
