We are now over a quarter of the way through the year. Because I am exceedingly OCD organized, I started taking stock of all of my reading challenges. I have come to the conclusion that there are a few I am not going to complete, nor am I interested in adjusting my reading plans just to fit the challenge requirements. Therefore, as of today, I will be dropping out of the 451 Reading Challenge and the Gilmore Girls Reading Challenge. I have barely started one and have not started the other at all. These were the two I was most concerned about completing anyway, and really, who needs the added pressure/stress of reading challenges? So, I’m throwing in the towel on both of these. Lesson learned – 10 reading challenges is just too many.
This was my first year of participating in challenges. I had no idea what to expect and what I would accomplish. With not having started anything for the 451 Challenge and having only read one for the Gilmore Girl Challenge, I realized it wasn't worth the stress of trying to finish them.
