Some challenges this year proved to be a fizzle and I really got nowhere.
Others, while they helped to determine the books I looked for, provided not so much a challenge, as simply a record of what I read.
My pattern of reading is really very similar to that in previous years:
- 25% of my reading were Australian authors
- 40% were British
- 50% were new-to-me authors
- 30% were borrowed through my local library
- 15% were translated
- 2016 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge: aimed for 135 but read 118
- 2016 Good Reads Reading Challenge. aimed for 135 but read 118
- Agatha Christie Reading Challenge Completed in 2014However I continued to keep a record of Agatha Christie-related reading: I recorded 4 new items.
- 2016 Global Reading Challenge 16/21:
