I am SO EXCITED to have finished this challenge. It was such a huge undertaking and when I started it I was sure I wasn't going to finish. I had decided right from the start that there were a couple of categories that I wasn't going to do - but then as I went along I found myself wanting to do them because of the challenge. It has really opened my eyes to different books that I have really enjoyed. As I got to the last book, Cleopatra's Daughter, I was not sure I would finish by September 30 but I had hoped that I would race through it like I did her previous novels, and sure enough, save the best for last.
Here is my up to date list of my conquests (haha)

ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen this challenge before, but it looks like fun. I'll have to keep my eyes open for the next one.
CONGRATS TO YOU!! I thought I would be able to finish but by the time September came I knew I would not get anywhere =) I woulld have loved to do some of those like Jean Plaidy etc.. It is so sad that I have 70 Plaidy's that I have not read.
