Pheew, at last a challenge I can handle. Having had fun with the 999 Challenge but nevertheless failed to reach the ultimate goal, I look forward to just really having to finish at least one book in 10 categories. Well, I'll have two challenges. As I do read scores of pulp fiction books I do want to read pulp entries from 10 different series in 2010. I also want to read another 10 books from 10 different categories, some of those are from my 999 Challenge, some are new.

I guess that means I finished my first category. I read tons of other books as well this year so far not belonging into any of my categories but it's nice to see that I can tick one challenge off my list.... though I will continue reading some more pulp fiction in between all the other books.

With Casanova's HISTORY OF MY LIFE (Vol. 3) I have now officially finished this challenge as well. Right in time for whatever new 2011 challenge may be thrown my my way.

Congratulations on completing your challenge - you timed that very well indeed!

Thanks. Yes, I am quite happy about it as I failed miserably with 999. ;-)
This was much more manageable. All in all I read about 55 books or thereabouts this year so any challenge needs to be in that priceclass.
