Janice (jamasc) How did everyone do on their challenge? Did you meet your goals and cross Canada? Or did you wander off the beaten path like I did?

What about 2014? Are people wanting to continue their trek?

Nothing like a barrage of questions. I think I took on too many challenges in 2013 and ended up finishing only the Goodreads Annual Challenge. Truth be told, the only reason I finished it was because I downgraded from a goal of 100 to 90.

My goal for 2014 is to do a chunkster challenge in another group and to read some of the books that I have accumulated over the last 10 years, that are still waiting to be read.

I will withdraw from this group. I have added some good friends from this group as well as a number of great books to my wishlist. Thank you Melissa for starting this challenge.

Good reading to all in 2014.

Janice (jamasc) I was thinking about my unfinished 2013 challenges today, Sandy. I think I will try to finish them all as one challenge. It will be like a stew made from left-overs. :) I hate not finishing things.

If people are wanting to continue their challenges into 2014, or start with new goals for 2014, I think that would be great. You can start new threads for 2014, or just continue on with your current thread, whichever suits your fancy.

So the files shall remain. :)

Kelly | 12 comments I thought this would be such an easy challenge...silly me! I am currently reading my second last book in this challenge and have my final one picked out but I won't complete it before the end of the year. I hope to finish it up in January.

I enjoyed this challenge, it was nice learning about such awesome Canadian books and making it a focus to read some of them.

Much appreciated!

Chantale Pard I never finished either! I was way too confident when I assigned myself double the work, haha (wanted to read an adult and a YA for each province, I think). This was great idea, though, and I loved seeing what other people were reading! Will try and finish up my other provinces this coming year anyway as a leftover kind of thing. Happy reading!

Connie  G (connie_g) I'm planning on finishing in 2014. There are a lot more Canadian authors that I would like to read. Thank you, Melissa and Janice, for moderating.
