I've played with this list off and on for some time, and finally gave up on it at 21 books for the challenge because I always think I can get through more books than I can. I have two reviews forthcoming, but for all intents and purposes, I've finished the challenge.
***Don't forget my giveaway for an inscribed copy of Matrimony by Joshua Henkin. Deadline is Dec. 21 and the contest is international.**

congrats on getting done with the challenge :)
u should celebrate as I did :)
I really don't know if I could change the books in the list for the challenge, but I had a hard time keeping on track.
Congratulations! I'm not going to finish it.
I probably would've finished the challenge had I not added a bazillion books after I wrote the first reading list. LOL Now I know better.

Bermudaonion: I'm not sure my version of finishing counts. LOL
Anna: I fudged this a little...since I know that I always add to the list and then end up not having enough time.
I only put four books on my Fall into Reading list, and I don't think I am going to finish them all! I always get distracted with new books, so the ones I intended to read just got shoved to the background. Whoops :)

Glad to be of help!
Serena,
Your blog looks great!
I can't find your review of Jess McCann's book. Can you send me the link? When I click on it, I get "Error 404."
By the way, I subscribe to your feed and love reading your articles!

I read Any Given Doomsday but didnt enjoy it too much.
Matrimony was a great book.

Naida: I had a problem reading Any Given Doomsday as well. I liked Matrimony a lot.
Congratulations on what you accomplished during the challenge! I'm so jealous that you got to read the new Anita Shreve early - what fun!
YOU DID GREAT! :) I didn't do well at all, but walked away with a valuable lesson. I'm trying out a new strategy for the Winter Reading Challenge.
