All done!

No, I have not finished this challenge yet, but some of you have, or at least you're getting close! When you finish, let us know by posting to this thread. Leave a link to your challenge thread so we can marvel at your accomplishment, and feel free to brag a little! :)

I finished my challenge. I said I would do a minimum of 7 and up to 11 in each category. It took me 90 books (based on the numbering in my 75 book thread) to do it. Original thread is here: http://www.librarything.com/topic/96728

I have created bonus categories with no limits or minimums at: http://www.librarything.com/topic/118727

I was really close to finishing until I got my ER book from May which would only fit into a miscellaneous category which was already full. So I upped my goal to 6 books per category and will press on toward that.

I have finished my challenge:)
As I (started and) finished early, I am going to try doing a second one, but a step version this time. I was going to read 20 Bonus books, but thought this would be more fun.

Here is my original thread: http://www.librarything.com/topic/97021

Congrats to Thornton and Soffitta for completing your Challenges, glad you are still going to be around here to give me book ideas!

Yep, big congratulations to you both from me too.

Hi everyone! I finished my 11 in 11 goal for this year (4 books per category). I really enjoyed this and will be participating in the 12 in 12 next year with a slightly bigger goal.

Here is my thread if you're interested.

Congratulations on completing your Challenge japaul22!

I have started a group for the 12 in 12 challenge here: http://www.librarything.com/groups/the12in12categorycha. Hope to see you all there! :)

never spotted this thread before - I've finished my challenge but am plugging away at the TBR as "bonus" reads which I'm adding to the same thread

http://www.librarything.com/topic/97274

All done. 11 books in 11 categories.

I've started a new thread for overflow categories.

Congrats Pamelad!

Just thought I'd bump up this thread, in case anyone else has finished the challenge (or is close to it!). Feel free to brag about it here! :)

Congratulations all of you who've finished! Hope to see you all in 2012!

> thanks for the bump up - I had forgotten this thread even though it was starred. I'm finished with my challenge for the year although it was only 66 books. Which is great for me because last year I only managed to read 50 which is around my usual amount. Needless to say I will be continuing on - 1: because I couldn't not read for the rest of the year and 2: to see how many books I'll end up with. I'm probably going to try and stay within my categories if I can.

I am also pleased to say that I am finished. It was a tough one for me because some of my categories ended up being arduous after a few books, but I am glad that I stuck it out. I have much less in my TBR basket (I lie.... I just continue to top it up with new books which I have been inspired to buy from reading the old ones). Just a few minutes ago I finished my last book My Career Goes Bung by Miles Franklin... I loved it, but the problem is that she was a writer so there are many other books mentioned (which I naturally must either buy or download from Project Gutenburg Australia if I can't track down a copy to buy). So here is the list if you want to have a peek... I think next year I will make more of an attempt to comment on what I have read.

Now I am looking forward to the 12-12 but wont start until January, so I will bide my time by finishing up those other challenges I have not been able to resist. Cheers!

Congrats Karene (and anyone else I might have missed too)!

>16 kpolhuis: Ah, the delusion of the shrinking TBR. Don't we all cling to it like drowners :) Congrats on finishing!

I finished last night and reached my goal of 132 books. I did a standard 11x11 and added another category with 11 also. See my thread below.

http://www.librarything.com/topic/114880

I'll be around with holiday reads, general "off the shelf' picks as well as catching up on the never ending series books that I keep finding out about.

Congrats to everyone!

Congratulations everyone!

On Sunday 30th October 2011 @ 20:50 GMT I completed my stepped version of the challenge.

January to June can be found here and the 2nd part can be located here.

Congrats!

#21 Congrats on finishing!!

Congratulations Wolfy!

Good job Wolfy! Congrats!

Thank you all. I had the devil of a job picking out a book to bring to work with me today. So many to choose from but without a space in the challenge to guide me. A terrifying prospect for the next 2 months. Though I really should work on some of those other ongoing challenges I have too!

I completely know what you mean! I had to do a mini-challenge for oct-dec because I felt so lost after completing my 11 in 11 challenge!

I have completed my 11 in 11 Challenge !

#28 Congrats on finishing, Judy!! Way to go.

Congrats Judy! I was looking for the mention on your thread and didn't see it so the congrats are posted here!

ETA: found and now double posted congrats!

Congratulations!

I finished my 11 in 11 challenge tonight. Oddly enough, at 11:11 pm.

I read 11 books in each of 11 categories, for a total of 121 books.

For the rest of the year, I am hoping to read whatever I feel like but, in particular, books off my shelf. A strong dose of holiday-themed books, too.

Congratulations to everyone who has finished!

Congratulations!

Great job everybody! I've been busy starting my holiday baking and getting ready to go away for Thanksgiving and haven't been here as much as I'd like. Also not getting as much reading done as I'd like.

Congratulations everyone. Wow, I'm still plugging away though only a few left to go.

I'm done!

Congratulations!! Looking forward to next year? ;)

You bet!

I'm done! :) Here's my challenge: http://www.librarything.com/topic/100662

Congratulations!

I finished my last book today - all done!

Congratulations!

Congrats to everyone who's just finished.

My Fiction in English challenge is finished.

http://www.librarything.com/topic/96717

I think I'm blind. I went in to see how many more children's books I need in German for that category and

Reading in German is also finished.

http://www.librarything.com/topic/96718

It's great to see everyone starting to finish up and get excited for the next year.

>45 MarthaJeanne: - Congratulations

Congrats to everyone who has finished recently!

I just finished the mini-challenge I set up for myself after finishing my first challenge.

It's here http://www.librarything.com/topic/124468 if you're interested.

Congratulations to everyone, especially if I missed on your threads -- I'm way behind on reading threads, but hope to catch up.

I finished my 7/11 challege last night -- 7 books in each of 11 categories.

Congratulations to everyone again too. I finished my challenge yesterday. I've read at least 11 books in 11 categories with some bonus reads as I kept going off track all year long.

Finally I can add my name to the list! I finished my challenge yesterday (12/16); my most recent thread is HERE. Message #169 contains my challenge wrap-up, including a list of best and worst books of the year.

Congratulations!

#50 Congrats on finishing.

I too can add my name to the list! Finished Sunday with one of the top reads of the year - nice to "go out with a bang." :)

My challenge is over here:
Part 1
Part 2

(formerly bookoholic13)

Congratulations!

YEAH!!! Nice to have the last book be a good one...and the first...

Congratulations!

Me too me too! Actually I finished a while ago, but I was too busy to update the list :X There was also plenty of overflow that did not make it onto the list (Anna Karenina ^^;;;). I really have to update my LT catalog in general...

http://www.librarything.com/topic/105817

I finished earlier today!!!

Congratulations to all who made it - I did meet my minimum target of 5 per category but didn't quite make it to the full 11 in one. See you all in 2012 and good luck:)

Congratulations to everyone that made it - I ended up giving up very early (after I stopped recording what I was reading) :)

Happy new year and happy reading in 2012!

Congratulations to everyone.
#58 - wow you just made it!

>61 avatiakh: Years of procrastination have made me an expert in the last-minute finish. Short books are useful too.

Congratulations to everyone who completed their challenge! And to those of you who didn't, I hope you had fun anyway! :) Hope to see you all at the 12 in 12!
