2015 Wrap Up

2015 was one of the busiest years for me! I finished my master's degree, planned my sister's wedding shower and bachelorette party, went to my sister's wedding abroad, started a new job, and my mother in law passed away. Unfortunately, all this stuff took away from reading and blogging. I greatly appreciate all the readers and bloggers who continue to read my blog.

Here is an update on the challenges I participated in 2015.

    I'm so bad at challenges. I signed up for your bingo, but then didn't keep track if I finished or not. I may have to see if I can go back and do a final update if I met any of the goals on it! Here's to next year!

    OMG That Bingo looks so cool! I'll definitely take a look into it next time bec I don't think I saw it when it was first launched, and I missed out on a lot of fun! It's such a great way to do challenges and to complete a book in a genre you're not familiar with.

    This is why I don't really sign up for challenges (unfortunately) BUT HEY at least you got a double bingo on your OWN hosted challenge! I think that is great! :)
