I really enjoyed your posts for your Art of the Novella challenge. I definitely learned about quite a few authors/novellas that I will be adding to my list.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739982274914536036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-17406295754897582742011-09-05T19:22:36.276-04:002011-09-05T19:22:36.276-04:00That's clever to divide up challenge commitmen...That's clever to divide up challenge commitments based on how many books you have to read for each per month! Challenges overwhelm me partly because I feel like I have to read only challenge books until I've finished the challenge. It looks like overall you had a good month!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429588794754369453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-43384871281630711962011-09-04T21:49:41.149-04:002011-09-04T21:49:41.149-04:00You're doing great on your challenges!

I'm woefully behind on most -- I'm learning that if I review new releases, I have to give up on my challenges -- they rarely overlap.Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-48960624109707348252011-09-04T16:33:27.521-04:002011-09-04T16:33:27.521-04:00I have no goals...so I always reach them.I have no goals...so I always reach them.caitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824538078958999767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-14550671517876425142011-09-04T16:06:59.463-04:002011-09-04T16:06:59.463-04:00Your goal-orientation is fantastic.

It sounds like you did fairly well though, and were pretty much on track, except for the Booker challenge, which is a mighty challenge indeed! I also wanted to tell you that I finally bought The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine! After I read your amazing review, I knew I had to read it, and snapped it up when I saw it in the store. So, so looking forward to it!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-90842459311129962542011-09-04T10:54:21.068-04:002011-09-04T10:54:21.068-04:00This was my year of no challenges.

I read whatever I want, and it is turning out to be the best reading year of my life I think. Challenges do have a way of getting your out of your comfort zone, but I found they just stressed me out more than anything.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-37190220512574900422011-09-04T10:03:09.283-04:002011-09-04T10:03:09.283-04:00Yeah...in the stack of September releases that I h...Yeah...in the stack of September releases that I have, I am only really getting enthused about 2 or 3. I think I'll spend the rest of the month on catching up with my challenges. I'm pretty far behind on some of them. On others, I'm sure I've done okay, but not because I was trying. They just matched my tastes too well :)Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362919925024094294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-32774660931856195652011-09-04T09:46:34.888-04:002011-09-04T09:46:34.888-04:00Wow.

It was an exhausting but highly rewarding reading month. For fall, I am looking forward to quite a few new releases as well as the RIP Challenge where I enjoy reading the posts of others so much.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597485569740436880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-87684667475337738702011-09-04T09:16:12.674-04:002011-09-04T09:16:12.674-04:00I'm doing so poorly in my challenges, I'm ...I'm doing so poorly in my challenges, I'm about to throw in the towel.
