Well, I came close on the alphabet one. Only three letters left. Maybe I could finish, but I don't want read something that I didn't already want to read right now... A dilemma for sure... what to do...

My most successful challenge this year was new authors! I read 58 authors I had not read before!

Great job, Vicki! 58 is excellent!

That is fantastic!

Wow, well done!

And also only 3 off on the A to Z is very impressive.
