I came across this one over at book-a-rama and thought I would play along. I didn't do very well with challenges last year, so I think I qualify for this one.
This post is a challenge wrap-up for the month of May.
How many books did I read for challenges?
I read 9 books for challenges this month! I'm surprised I did so well. Haha! Although that's probably because I didn't read as many review books as I probably should have.
Overall Progress?
I think I'm doing very well. There were only 3 challenges that I didn't read a qualifying book for this month, that's gotta be good right? It's up from 6 last month. I still have a long way to go but I did finish one challenge this month and I'm close to finishing several more.

I'm glad the challenge is helping you finish a few things. Keep it up!
Good job (I think you might be doing as many challenges as me).
Chris - thanks! It really is helping, I love seeing my progress (or lack there of sometimes!)
Jodie - Thanks! I did go a little overboard this year, but I couldn't pass them up.
