Semi-Charmed 2015 Winter Book Challenge Updated List & Score

I joined this reading challenge in November, and then proceeded to read almost nothing. By the time y'all did the first check-in, and the second check-in.... I was like... oh LORD!

I switched some of my books around, and read a TON this January! WOOHOO!

I made some really good progress toward this challenge in January ... and had I had just a few more free days I think I could have finished... but I decided rather than read 3/5 remaining books... I would move along to the Literary Ladies pick for January (It was SO good, check back in tomorrow for my reviews of January books!) ... So here's how I did on this challenge.

My Books:

DONE! 5 points: Read a book that has between 100 and 200 pages.

I will probably still try to fit some of the ones I didn't finish (or even the ones I changed from) into other 2016 lists... but it just wasn't worth it to push myself to *almost* finish... :)

Anyone else do this one? Did anyone finish it? It's rough during the holidays!

What are you reading?! Here's my next reading challenge.

XO,

Alexandra

PS - I read 10 books in January! Holy cow! :)
