Spring Reading Thing 2013 Challenge Overview
This year I participated in my first Spring Reading Thing 2013 Challenge, which was hosted by Sandra Stiles at The Musings Of A Book Addict.
The 3-month long challenge ran from March 20 through June 20, 2013 and required us to make a list of books we wanted to read – or finish reading – this past spring. We were allowed to update the list throughout the challenge as needed!
You will find my original list (with my initial updates) on my Spring Reading Thing 2013 Challenge post.
Spring Reading Thing 2013 Challenge Wrap-Up
This Spring – Spring 2013 – I read and reviewed 43 books! Of these, 29 of the books were on my original list!
(I actually read a few more books that I did not have a chance to review, but for accounting purposes, I only included the ones that I reviewed).
