My Thoughts:
It is a testiment to how far behind in my reading this year with some of the books I still haven't read. A couple of my favorite authors are on the list of books not read. That just shows how much I wanted to try to read this fall.
Overall, I finished 20 of my 29 books, which I am happy about. I really had hoped to read all of them, but getting distracted by Lego Indiana Jones hasn't helped my reading time. Neither has my long list of TV shows I watch. With starting to work out on my lunch hour again next year, I am going to have to work hard to find reading time so I can get to some of these books before the Spring lists role out.

I think you did remarkably well! And I don't know what you do when you work out, but I've actually found more time to read if I bring my book while on the treadmill. Congrats on the challenge!
I don't use a treadmill. If I'm going to run, I actually run. I use weights and stuff like that when I work out. Makes it rather hard to read something.
