I seem to be making pretty good progress on my other challenges. I must admit that I am getting a little nervous about the Chunkster Challenge, since I've just started my first book for this challenge earlier this week. But I guess it isn't the end of the world if I don't complete that challenge!
Have a relaxing Labor Day Weekend everyone!

Congrats on finishing :D
I have entered some this year but one is sure not going well. Haven't even started
Way to go! I'm always impressed when someone finishes a challenge, since I haven't managed to do it yet.
20 books! Wow, good for you, Jo-Jo. Must feel great. Don't worry about the chunkster. You'll do it.
Kudos to you Jo-Jo!! I feel guilty when I think how many I own that I haven't read....
Well done!! I signed up to read 50 of my own for this and I think I've currently read less than 20. I'd better get a move on!! :-)

Congratulations! I am 3 away from my goal of 50 forthis challenge.
Congratulations on finishing this challenge! This is one of the challenges I am having the hardest time completing. It is so easy to get caught up with review copies and books from the library that I've fallen behind on reading my own books.
Hey Jo-Jo! You've an award waiting at my blog!
