I actually finished the challenge back in November but as things were crazy in my life, and only got crazier, I just now squeaked in a review for my last book, which was "R". I chose to A - Z Titles. I wanted to do both but I was worried about reading fifty-two books. Turned out I came in at fifty-one for the year so I probably could have done it but I'm glad I stuck with just titles.
I faced a few challenges right off the bat. I started out fine with "A" but quickly found myself reading out of order. I received a few advanced reading copies that I really needed to get read so I decided it really didn't matter what order I read the books in. I also found myself with books that I really didn't want to read. That meant my carefully planned selection was changing. It was fine, I just had to accept it.
For 2010 I am going to read A - Z Authors. I'm looking forward to reading a few books I've been saving up and I'm sure I'll get distracted again. It's all right. This is all for me.
