You did better than I did. I “failed” five of nine, but I think I’m done with yours. I have to re-tally here shortly, but I think I’m in.

Congratulations on completing the challenges you did. It looks like you picked more fun challenges than I did– and shorter ones too (novella and graphic novels) among yours. I’ll have to consider that…wait, no, no, no. :)

I’m impressed! Congrats on completing all of those challenges. I think I’m already over-committing for 2009

Whew! What a feet! Congratulations on finishing all of these challenges!

I’m very impressed with your challenge accomplishments. I couldn’t finish the Man Booker Challenge. :(
