Finally! I
have completed all my challenges this year right on time! I still have Dickens at Christmas to read for Dickens in December 2017, but it does not count as challenge. I will just enjoy my
Christmas holiday with Mr. Dickens. What makes me proud of myself is that I
successfully wrote reviews for ALL books for these challenges—even if it’s only
mini reviews—which I failed last year. Here is the complete list, and I thank
all the hosts for encouraging me to read many inspiring books this year!
