Where we live, it’s been feeling wintery for a while, but today is officially the first day of winter. And that means that the Fall into Reading 2007 challenge has come to an end. I want to thank each person that participated. So many of you spread the word, posted your lists, and made the challenge fun. And in case you weren’t watching the list, it kept growing and growing throughout the fall — we ended up with 345 participants!
Now that we’ve reached the end, I’d love to hear how the challenge went for you. I hope you’ll take the time to write a wrap-up post and link to it using the Mr. Linky below.
Yesterday, I offered some suggestions for what you might want to write in your wrap-up post, but of course, feel free to write it however you’d like. Once your post is up, come here and sign up on the Mr. Linky below. Don’t forget — include the URL to your wrap-up post, not just your general blog web address, to make it easy for people to find your post.
Also, if you have any final book reviews you’d like to post, I’ll leave the Mr. Linky on the Fall Into Reading Book Reviews post up for a few more days. (There are already more than 400 reviews up, so that post is a great resource if you’re trying to decide what to read next!)
And…there’s still a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate up for grabs. To be eligible, please post your wrap-up post (and put it on the Mr. Linky) by midnight EST on December 24th to get your name in the drawing.
Thanks again to all the participants. I’ve enjoyed reading with you!

Thanks for another fun challenge!
I hope you do this again! I would love to participate another time.
so much fun! I learned this fall that I do much better at just reading and making a list after the fact — rather than making a list of things to read and trying to stick with those!
Thanks for hosting!
For anyone looking for their next reading challenge, be sure to check out A Novel Challenge, which has links to challenges of all kinds.
Thanks for hosting this challenge. I so enjoy finding new authors/books to read.

As usual, excellent hostessing Katrina! I overbooked myself, so I didn’t finish, but I had so much fun and met some new bloggers. Thanks for ALL of your hard work putting this together and keeping track of it all. YOU ROCK!!

Thanks Katrina. I love your reading challenges.
If anyone wants to continue to play, I’m hosting a Winter Reading Challenge over on my blog.
Looking forward to reading all the wrap-ups.
please keep me posted if you are doing one for winter or spring! can’t wait to join.
Oops! I think I was about 2 hours late for the drawing. I wrote the post yesterday, but couldn’t post until now because of an internet issue. Oh well! I had fun anyway…
Katrina, this was great fun. Thank-you for taking the time to head this up for us. I look forward to the next one. Merry Christmas and may God bless you greatly!!

Thanks so much for hosting this challenge!
I didn’t do as well as I thought I would but I had fun, nonetheless. 
Forgot to ask…are you doing a Winter Challenge?
Thank you for organizing.
I had fun participating in my first reading challenge. I only read 2 of the books on my list but read several others that weren’t on my list.
Missed the deadline, but got a wrap up (of sorts) posted!
Thanks, Katrina, for hosting! I hope to venture out and investigate others’ lists soon!
I missed the official wrap up date, but my wrap up post is up now.
Thanks for hosting this challenge–it was great fun and I look forward to the Spring challenge. Happy New Year and Happy Reading to you!

I missed the deadline too but posted my wrap-up.
I enjoyed participating but I enjoyed reading other people’s blogs and book reviews even more. Thanks!
I am very late getting my wrap-up post up…but here it is! I really enjoyed the challenge, thanks for hosting it, Katrina. I’m looking forward to the next one!
I have been a slacker about posting my wrap-up, but I did it! It’s up now!
Katrina,
I didn’t “git er done” for this challenge, but I so appreciate the opportunity and am going to move forward into a winter challenge with Trish. My fall was difficult; here’s hoping winter will be a time of lots of page turning. Blessings to you and thanks again for providing this for everyone!
