What's that common saying about the road to hell being paved with good intentions? Whilst I did have very good intentions both at the very beginning of the Terry Pratchett 2010 Reading Challenge and at various times throughout the year, I am not sure that I deserve that grim fate for being a bad challenge host!I thought that as the challenge comes to an end, I would do a post listing everyone who participated in the challenge this time around, and that next week I would create a list of all the reviews that were written as part of the challenge! At least that is my intention.
When I announced the challenge, there were five possible levels of participation:
Death's Apprentices (these dedicated readers read between 10-12 (or more) books)
Members of Granny Weatherwax's Coven (read either 9 or 10 books)
Academics at the Unseen University (read between 6 and 8 books)
Guards of the City Watch (read either 4 or 5 books)
Cashier at Ankh-Morpork Mint (read between 1 and 3 books)
I want to give a special shout out to Caty from Miscellaneous Mumblings who completed an amazing 17 books! Well done Caty!

Please let me know if I have missed you off the list of participants in the challenge, or if you want to share what level of achievement you achieved.
I think you've done an awesome job and I thank you for hosting my first Challenge.
ReplyDeleteDear Marg,
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting the challenge. It was a great excuse to reread my favorite books. Although I didn’t make good on buying the books part, I finished the challenge back in January. Here is my review:

I love to read this series again, so please host the challenge next year.
I read one book, so I guess technically I didn't fail, but I wanted to have read a lot more. Booo :( But thank you for hosting, Marg! You know I'll be back for 2012.
ReplyDeleteI think you've been an excellent host. :-)
ReplyDeleteI thought I might not finish this one but am now reading my 6th. book, (Thud!) so it looks like I will. yaay!
I finished one book, which was my aim really, so I'm quite happy to finally try Pratchett. Thanks for hosting. I have yet to write review on the book (I read Equal Rites). Soon I hope!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the challenge, I didn't actually get as many books read as I was hoping to for this one (I was originally aiming for 12) but I did read 5 and had the chance to go to a Terry Pratchett release party too so it was good fun!
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to reading some of the other reviews written if you get time to post them :o)
Oh, a Terry Pratchett release party! That would have been awesome to go to Sarah.
ReplyDeleteThe list of reviews should be up on Sunday.
Mee, I am so glad you met your aim! That's a successful challenge really.
Well done Cath! I think I ended up reading 5 or 6 myself. Will have to check my list.
Nymeth, I always want to read more Pratchett! Thanks for participating.
Hi Aradia! You did amazingly well to complete the challenge in January! I did see your wrap up post, and will link to it in the reviews post. As for next year, I have something else in mind which will hopefully interest you, but I will definitely think about doing this one again in 2012.
Thanks Suzie, glad you enjoyed your first challenge experience.
