.
Dorte, well done, congratulations.
SvarSletTo answer your questions I do participate in reading challenges. My favourite.................
Have you ever heard of the 2010Global Challenge? Highly recommended
Dorte - Nicely-done! And thank you for the the kind words about B-Very Flat*blush*. As far as reading challenges go, I would have to agree with Jose Ignacio. The 2010 Global Reading Challenge is exciting, and I'm glad I've been participating in it. Have you tried that one ; ).
SvarSletWell done on the completition of another challenge. I've only ever taken part in two but am considering doing a third if I can get hold of the books needed.
SvarSletJose: oh, you are so kind.
SvarSletOh, Margot, I have - but compared to Jose I am far behind :D
Tracy: thank you. I also like waiting until I am sure I can complete the challenge so I am hardly going to try more this year.
Very good!! I love seeing the titles people used to meet the categories. I'm already working on next year's categories!
SvarSletCongrats on finishing. I started out great with challenges this year but now I'm starting to flounder. I have just one more for your global challenge -- 4 months left, right?
Beth: oh yes, you have plenty of time for your last global book. I have four left, but then it is my only challenge now.
SvarSletCongratulations on completing this challenge, Dorte!
SvarSletI did my first challenge last December and signed up for two this year (one of which I've completed). I have a feeling I will try more next year.
This has been my first year for challenges, I have completed two and another 3 to finish. I agree with Jose Ignacio - the best is the global challenge (definitely the most challenging).
SvarSletI'm only participating in one challenge this year, something about Global... but failing miserably!
SvarSletBernadette: oh, you are all so kind!
SvarSletVanda: why do you think it is the only one *I* haven´t finished yet? :D
Kelly: I didn´t mean to forget you. I was also very cautious when I joined my first challenges, but so far I have only had fun with them and not felt too much pressure. I don´t want to join too many, though, as my blogging & reading time can only be taken from my writing time.
SvarSletI also loved the Coroner's Lunch!
SvarSletClare: it is such a charming book!
