There is still three weeks left to go before the end of the year and my challenge has been pretty good this year. I've surpassed my original goal of 50 with 73 (and counting); I hope to reach around 80 by the end of the year.

I've done much better with the Author, Title and Character challenges this year: I'm missing 7 authors, 8 book titles and 6 character names. I may leave out the Character challenge next year though.

I did well on my Mini Challenges as well, completing the Once Upon a Time challenge and reading 7 out of 10 historical fiction books. I'd like to try and read more adaptations next year and more manga and graphic novels.

I'm also happy to report that so far I've finished 4 series this year (and started countless more :p)
