When I began to really work on Keeper Bookshelf again, full time in January of 2015  I really wanted to get involved with the book review community.  They are an amazing group of people with fun ideas and such useful information.

Around that time the “Challenges” for 2015 were coming out – and I went hog-wild crazy.  Every single one looked like so much fun.

Unfortunately, I was unable to keep up-to-date on listing them either here or at the Challenge websites/blogs.  I am embarrassed by that.  I know I bit off much more than I could chew.

My sincere apologies to any Challenge that I dropped out of before the end of this year.  It wasn’t your idea, it was my inability to make a routine and stick with it.  I failed, you didn’t.

There are a couple that I will take a weekend and get all caught up on.  Then I’ll put those Challenges pages back up on Keeper Bookshelf.  But with the review schedule I have now plus real life – there is no way to realistically get caught up on fifteen Challenges.  So, I’ll pick a couple and be content.

Will I enter into this area again?  Of course!  They are well run, fun and a great way to not only meet other readers, but to add to my To Be Read Toppling Mountain of Books.  I will simply be more realistic, pick the ones that I know I can keep up with and be diligent about it.

It was a good experience that I look forward to being part of again.  Just… not this year.  Nine months of catching up are beyond my ability right now.
