Book Challenges 2013 ~ Recap

I participated in four reading challenges for 2013.  I finished all 4 goals for the year.  Here are the challenges and what I was able to accomplish.

The first goal that I had was to read 155 books for the year 2013.  I surpassed that goal ~ I read 214 books.  To be fair, a few were children's books and there were a few novella's.
