2016 Challenges - Year End Update

Here's my final wrap-up for my personal challenges of the year. All told, I'm pretty pleased, really, at how well everything went. I have plans to continue on some of these challenges for next year, too, because they were just that awesome.

Pages of Starlight's Chunky-Book Challenge
(Adult 400+ YA 500+)
I plan to read 12 chunky books this year - or as many as I can find that sounds good, whichever comes first.
