I have officially completed a challenge, and for once in my life, I over-achieved! When I signed up for Carl’s R.I.P. Challenge, I was thinking I’d read two books, but I ended up reading 5.
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
- The Night Villa
- Dracula
- Her Fearful Symmetry (someday I’ll get around to writing a review for this one)
- The Little Stranger
- Frankenstein
Hooray for finishing! And hooray for Carl for hosting!!
Congrats for being an over-achiever! I still need to seek out some Lovecraft in Chartroose’s honor.

This was such a fun challenge!! I over-achieved as well. It’s much more fun to go overboard with a challenge than not complete one, but sometimes it’s just so hard to complete challenges with all the other reading obligations.

Congratulations on finishing!
I laughed a little at your post because I’m visiting my Google reader while trying to clear my head for my review of Her Fearful Symmetry. It isn’t an easy book to review!

Yay Team Ding Dong! (I’m the kind of cheerleader who doesn’t know many different cheers, unlike you who is fantastic at it!, but I hope it conveys the same spirit of yay-ness!)

I overachieved on this challenge too; although since I read the first five Sookie Stackhouse books which are easy reads, I do wonder if it counts. Congrats on finishing and reading some excellent books.

Great job! Congrats on finishing, and exceeding, the challenge! I can’t wait to read your reviews now. I loved Frankenstein, haven’t finished Dracula, and want to read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Her Fearful Symmetry.

Way to go on overachieving. I said I’d read two and that’s what I did. Wrap-up post on Friday.

I over-achieved too! (Somehow this year I over-achieved a few of my challenges.) I planned to read 2 and read 4 at the end. I’ve finished Dracula, so review coming soon!
ps: Didn’t you read 6?
