Fall Into Reading 2010: Wrap It Up!

The tree is up and decorated, the stockings are hung by the fireplace, and there’s a dusting of snow on the ground. There’s no denying it: fall has come to a close and winter is moving in. Which means, of course that Fall Into Reading 2010 has also come to a close.

I want to thank each person that participated in this year’s challenge. Many of you answered the weekly reading questions or checked in to occasionally keep me posted on your reading progress over the last three months. You made this season of reading extra fun for me!

As we wrap things up, I just have one more thing to ask. Would you please write a final wrap-up post, letting all of us know how Fall Into Reading 2010 went for you?  I would love if you’d take the time to write a final post and link to it using the Mr. Linky below.

Last week, 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.

And don’t forget…there are still two Amazon.com gift certificates ($20 & $10) and a Moleskine Book Journal 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. I’ll announce the winner a few days after Christmas.

Thanks again to all the participants. I’ve enjoyed reading with you!

    Thank you for another fun challenge. You are right, it is fun to read with a group; to find book ideas for me, by reading other’s lists, and, in a virtual world sort of way, staying accountable for what I’m reading.

  3. Thanks for hosting the reading challenge! I love finding out what people are reading. It’s fun and a great way to find new authors! Thanks!

  4. Janet says:

    Thanks, Katrina, for hosting these challenges. They keep me motivated and my “to read” list growing. Happy Holidays!

  5. Katrina: Thank you for hosting. It was fun and enjoyed the weekly questions. Hope you will host again.

    Thanks for hosting a wonderful challenge. I enjoyed looking at everyone’s list and finding new books to read for myself. Sure do wish that there was a Winter Reading Challenge! ;- )

  10. Manders says:

    This has been a great challenge. Thanks for hosting it!! I loved every minute of it!! A Winter Reading Challenge would be awesome!! :-)

  11. Gigi Ann says:

    Thanks so much for hosting this challenge. I completed it and read a lot more books than I otherwise would have. I read 19 books and listened to one audio book. I finished the challenge on Nov. 29, 2010, and have gone on to read five more books as of today, that I hadn’t included in the challenge.

  12. I loved the addition of the reading questions, Katrina! Thanks for all of your hard work to make something fun for us to participate in with you. :)

    Thanks for hosting this challenge. I sure wish I could get to the bottom of my to-read pile, but I guess as long as books continue to be written, there will always be a long list of things I’d like to read. :) I hope to increase my reading discipline in 2011.

    What a blast. Thank you for hosting them and I look forward to the Spring Challenge. I am already thinking about the books I want to read for it. I currently have close to 250+ books on my shelves to read before I can take them in. I look forward to participating again next year.

  27. This snuck up on me! For some reason I was thinking it didn’t end until the 28th! I read 33 books…whew! Thanks so much for hosting…can’t wait for the spring challenge! :-)
