2012 is still in its early days, so I haven't made much progress yet. But with all the challenges I joined this year, I have made some.
This is the last of three quarterly blog assessment posts. The first part addressed the book lists. Part Two dealt with my favorite authors.
The list of all the challenges I've joined (so far) this year is here. There are some I haven't even started on yet, including for reasons I can't imagine, my favorite Foodie's Reading Challenge, hosted by Margot at Joyfully Retired.
Those I have made progress on are listed below.
First, the three challenges I am hosting here at Rose City Reader. There is still plenty of time to sign up! Click on the title to go to the main challenge page.
- High Stakes by Dick Francis (UK; reviewed here)

- People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks (Bosnia; reviewed here)

I haven't read any of these yet, but plan to get to my first Booker choice, Oscar and Lucinda by Peter Carey, very soon.
