I am very glad to say this is my first year in participating in several reading challenges. It is a wonderful experience, to be able to read books with fellow participants and it is also through this channel that I have known and made a lot of booklover friends around the world. :-) It is indeed a pleasure to read their reviews, exchange comments and share the reading pleasure through recommendations and all. What could I ask for more?

Besides this, another reason I participate in these challenges is, I want to see how far I could read in a year. It is more like a personal challenge for myself. Although I am very happy to say I have read more books as compared to last year, still I regret to say I am not able to complete these challenges even though I have tried my best. Thus, I would not take on too many reading challenges in the following year, although the temptation is so great.



Fall Into Reading 2007 Challenge

I would like to thank Katrina of Callapidder Days for hosting this challenge.



My list:

  • Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (Pending)
  • Bride Island by Alexandra Enders (Completed on 29 December 2007)
  • School's Out by Christophe Dufosse (Currently Reading)
  • Marley & Me by John Grogan (Completed)
  • Yakuza Moon by Shoko Tendo (Completed)




  • 2nds Challenge

    I would like to thank Joy of Thoughts of Joy for hosting this challenge.



    My list:

  • Hidden Agendas by Lora Leigh (Completed)
  • In Search of a Distance Voice by Taichi Yamada (Pending)
  • The Secrets of a Fire King by Kim Edwards (Completed)




    • Reading the Author Challenge

      I would like to thank Verbivore of Incurable Logophilia for hosting this challenge.



      My list:
      Books by Erin McCarthy

      • Smart Mouth (Pending)
      • My Immortal (Pending)
      • Mouth to Mouth (Pending)

      I am ashamed to say I did not even read any of these books for this challenge! I remember when I first signed up for this challenge, I was so excited and had looked through my TBR pile for an author to read. I decided on Erin McCarthy because I enjoyed her debut novel Bad Boys Online so much. Regrettably, with several reading challenges going on and in addition with my change of reading mood, I have kept these books aside thinking I would pick them up once more when my reading mood changes again, but by the time I feel like reading them, the challenge is almost over! I admit this is my fault for not able to complete this challenge, but still that doesn't mean I will give up these books.

      On a different topic, comes the first week of January will be the Buy a Friend a Book Week (BAFAB). I will be posting a list of books to be won during that period so do look out for it. :-)
