~☃~

While I had fun participating in these challenges, doing so many caused a lot of stress the last few months as I tried to fit certain books into my reading schedule just to complete some of the challenges. That's why, in 2014, I'll only be participating in one year-long reading challenge - 2014 Netgalley Reading Challenge. I've been really tempted the past couple days to sign up for a few others, but I've held back because I know I'll be glad I did later.

So, that's my wrap-up for 2013 Reading Challenges! Did you participate in any challenges? If so, how did you do? Please share in a comment. :)
