Challenge Updates:

So 2011 is over and I think I did pretty well at the challenges I'd joined.  The only one I didn't manage to finish was the Support Your Local Library Challenge which is a shame but I have too many of my own books that are still waiting to be read for me to worry too much about that.  I think that is the only challenge that I'm not planning to continue next year but I'll include the 2012 challenges I've signed up for in my January Recap.

2011 100+ Reading Challenge - Read 100/100 COMPLETE

2011 Horror & Urban Fantasy Challenge - Read 24/24 COMPLETE 

2011 Support Your Local Library Challenge - Read 15/25

2011 Debut Author Challenge - Read 12/12 COMPLETE

2011 British Books Challenge - Read 50/50 COMPLETE

2011 New Author Challenge - Read 50/50 COMPLETE

NAC Mini Challenge - Steampunk (Feb 2011) - Read 2/5 COMPLETE (This challenge was to read up to 5 steampunk books in February, I knew I wouldn't have time to read 5 so I'm happy with my total of 2)

NAC Mini Challenge - TBR Newbies (April & May 2011) - READ 6/6 COMPLETE (I actually managed to read 8 books for this challenge but only the first 6 count)
