Reading Challenge Update - 2015 Final

I didn't quite finish the pile. Just one book left, but it won't get finished. It is also a carry over from the 2014 Challenge. Some times I don't think I'll ever finish it, but it's actually a really good book.
I'm happy that I got most of the books read.

I won't be doing a TBR Pile Challenge in 2016, but maybe one day if my TBR pile gets some on there for a long time again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now this challenge I did finish! Some books were hard to choose, but I did have fun.

I've given updates through the year, but I thought it would be fun to list them all here now.

• Takes place in your state or country: In All These Things by Marjorie Buckingham
• Makes you cry: Not My Will by Francena H Arnold
• You loved as a child: The Circus Collection by Enid Blyton
• Your best friend recommends: Knowing God by David Egner
• Has a great cover: Ghost Writer by Rene Gutteridge
• Features someone who shares your eye colour: The Promise by Jane Peart
• Is over 500 pages long: The Bible
• Begins a series: Buried Secrets by Irene Hannon
• Is in a genre you don't normally read: The Land Uncharted by Keely Brooke Keith
• Has a child main character: Swallow Me Now by Melissa Gijsbers
• Takes place in your favourite time period: My Brother's Crown by Mindy Starns Clark & Leslie Gould
• Is written by an author you've never heard of: Andrew Murray: Destined to Serve by Olea Nel
• Was made into a movie: The Christmas Candle by Max Lucado
• Reminds you of someone you love: Sisterchicks in Gondolas by Robin Jones Gunn
• Includes a Christmas scene: The Christmas Joyride by Melody Carlson
• Is a classic you've never read:  Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell

I'm still figuring out if I'll be doing any reading challenges for 2016, but if I do choose to do any I'll post it in the next few days.

Happy New Year and happy reading!

Reading Challenges Update 2

I've been having fun with my 2015 Bingo Reading Challenge!

The hunt has been on for books to fit the categories and for some of them I still haven't figured out with book to read, but that's okay because it's still early in the year.

So the books for the next squares are:

• Makes you cry: Not My Will by Francena H Arnold
• Has a child main character: Swallow Me, Now! by Melissa Gijsbers
• Is a classic you've never read: Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell

I'm currently reading one more (you'll have to wait for my next update), but then I'm all out of ideas, at least for now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've also made a little progress on my 2015 TBR Pile Challenge.

3 more books have been read for this with another in progress and one about to be started.

• Spoken For by Robin Jones Gunn and Alyssa Joy Bethke
• It's Just You and Me, Lord by Marion Stroud
• The Spotlight of Faith by Bill Crowder

This takes me to 6 of 18 read - I'm 1/3 through the pile related to the challenge. My TBR pile did grow recently with a purchase of books during a recent sale at my favourite book store.
