R.I.P. IV (2009)

I opted to read 2 horror/scary books for this year's challenge, but have only managed to finish one. I'm in the middle of "The Thirteenth Tale", but that won't be finished by Saturday.

Duma Key by Stephen King was the only book I finished in time for this challenge. Which fits in nicely with the Stephen King/Richard Bachman challenge (ongoing).

Operation Actually Read Bible Challenge

This month I have not read from the Bible.
*slaps own wrist*

The next two months only find me doing 3 NEW challenges which overlap. My own Mini-Christmas Reading Challenge, Winter Reading Challenge and the Christmas Reading Challenge.

Still continue with the Library, 75 Books, Stephen King, 101/1,001 and Bible Challenges.
