Challenge Progress & 1000th Post Giveaway

With two months left to go in 2010, I sat down this weekend to check my reading challenge progress and I realized that I was getting close to my 1000th post (this is it!).  I have completed 33 of the 45 challenges I am participating in and am very close to finishing many others!

I am very happy with my challenge progress and hope to finish many more in the next two months.  My October reading has been the slowest ever and I am having a hard time getting back into the reading swing after my 3 week vacation.

If you looked through that list, you deserve to be entered into a drawing for your choice of milk or dark chocolate and a Starbucks gift card! ;) Leave me a comment telling me where you stand in your reading challenges. If you are not participating in any reading challenges, how happy are you with your reading progress with 2 months left in 2010?

Please leave your email for easy contact if you are the winner.  I will randomly draw the lucky recipient on October 31st.

I only signed up for 6 challenges. Now, I've got 3 more challenges to complete. 2 of which I'm rather afraid I won't complete. :-)

Congrats on the 1,000th post. No need to enter me as I've been trying to be good lately and chocolate is my downfall.

I am somewhat happy with my reading, this summer was just too hot to do much reading. I have alot to catch up on in the next couple of months.

What a lot of challenges! I'm afraid I've let my challenges slip and haven't been recording my reading on them! Too busy with a new hobby - poetry! Have a great week!

Good job!

I don't do reading challenges, I would feel pressured to read a certain amount and I don't think I would enjoy it as well. I applaud anyone that does them though. I haven't read as much this year as I would have liked. Family issues have got in the way of my reading, hopefully next year will be better.

I have actually completed most of my challenges, but what I am really terrible at doing is linking all of my reviews and other things to my challenges on my blog as time is so limited right now.

I have made myself a promise that as soon as reports are finished in November, I will sit down and link everything up so that task will be accomplished.

I am planning on completing some bigger challenges next year as the 25 book YA challenge was too easy for me.

Enjoy your reading time Nise!

I'm actually doing pretty good with the challenges that I did this year. I believe that I'll have about 4 that I won't complete but I'm ok with that. You're having a great year!!!

Melissa said...

Congratulations on your 1,000th post and all those challenges completed! Both are great accomplishments in and of themselves.

It's funny that you mentioned checking on your challenge progress because I recently did the same thing and wrote about it for today's Sunday Salon. I've completed five of my challenges, which I'm pretty pleased about. There are a few others that I am close to finishing, too.

No need to enter me in the giveaway ... I've given up chocolate because of it triggering too many migraines. :(

Irene said...

I'm so impressed with your progress on your challenges. WOW. I'm no where near completing the one's I signed up for . But a challenge is good for the spirit, so I persevere.

Shooting Stars Mag said...

I'm involved in one challenge...I'm not doing AS well as I'd hoped, but overall, I'm reading a lot so that's great.

Congrats to you!!

WOW! That is amazing. I only signed up for 1 challenge and it was the Bottoms Up Challenge. I originally had 33 books that kept being put to the bottom of my reading pile. Out of the 33 I have read 27 so far. It has to be done by the end of the year and I am pretty sure I will succeed. Maybe next year I will take part ion more

Congrats on all you have completed and will complete - its great for keeping motivated!!

WOW!!! COngrats in 1000. And look at how great you are at your challenges. I'm in awe.

I've finished 13 challenges, failed a few (including my own Sookie Stackhouse challenge!), I have 10 more I really think I'll finish, 1 I think I'll fail, and 2 that are perpetual.

Never enough time to read! I always look at them on my desk at work and wish I didn't have to be there--I just want to read. :)

I'm not doing any challenges, though I might try it in the future sometime. I've only read twenty or so books this year, but I tell myself it's okay because I did so much reading for my academic programs and because I read so much on the internet!

I met my goal challenge of reading 100 books in 2010...actually it was pretty easy. I need to get more ambitious next year!
