My Winter reading list...how did I do?

Audible/Overdrive audio or e-books:

  2. The Enigma Game by Elizabeth Wein ✓

  1. High Achiever by Tiffany Jenkins ✓
  2. The Last Resort by Marissa Stapley ✓
  3. The Greatest Miracle in the World by Og Mandino ✓
  4. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (I couldn't find my copy)
  5. The Magic Fish by Le Nguyen Trung ✓
  6. Apple: Skin to the Core by Eric Gansworth ✓

Cybils Nonfiction: As a round-2 judge I read 21 books for this category.

I really feel great about my reading list accomplishments here. Out of 32 books on this list, only two weren't completed. Pretty good for me. Of course, the Cybils finalists HAD to be finished and most of the other books I needed to read for book club or I already had checked out/on hold. Tricky way to influence the results, huh?
