2012 Global Reading Challenge: My Wrap-up Post

This is my Wrap-up Post for the 2012 Global Reading Challenge.

FAILED!

5/7 books read

71% completed

I was aiming for The Easy Challenge (read one novel from each continent), but I did not read any books from Africa or Australasia/Oceania. I went up to three books for some of the continents in the hopes that I could upgrade to The Expert Challenge (read three novels from each continent).
