2019 challenge wrap-up

Good morning bookworms!

Welcome to the 2019 challenge wrap-up! I’ll have another post with all my 2020 challenges in together as well.

Goodreads

Read 120 of 90 books.
While I did finish my challenge in October.
I finished my secret challenge (of 100 books) in November!
(I actually read 122 books this year but Goodreads has erased Memento by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff from its catalogue, and I also read a beta novel this year.)

Beat the Backlist

I read 57 of 50 backlist books during 2019.
Not all of them were on my physical backlist, but I did hit 50 off it.
(There is a column on the original list where I have marked off the books I have read.)

Beat the Backlist Epic Reading Bingo

I got one bingo. If I had have moved some more covers around I probably would have gotten more but I’m just so tired I really couldn’t be bothered.

Year of the Asian

I read 13 of 10 books!!!
GOAL COMPLETE!!!

I may not have smacked this one out of the park, but I think I did quite well. The only letters I missed, as you can see, are J, O, U, X, Y, Z.
Although, if I were in the habit of adding children’s books I read to my nephew this year I think I would be a lot closer!!

ABC Book Challenge

I finally finished this one back in December, and it felt so good to mark that last post off!!

A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M
N | O | P | Q | R | S#1 | S#2 | T | U | V | W | X, Y, Z

Romance-opoly

I definitely didn’t play this one as you were supposed to. For starters I didn’t roll any dice for it, and I also didn’t do the quarterly challenges that you were supposed to do either. But I did mark off a bunch of the colour blocks, which was great. PINK, BLUE, ORANGE, BROWN and PURPLE!!

I’m pretty happy with my progress on all of these during the year, however I definitely won’t be taking on this many challenges again in one year!!

Did you finish all your challenges in 2019?
