Finally! I've had some time and have now caught my breath from my holiday hiatus so I can gaze back on 2014 with regard rather then frantic reaction.
What a year! It was a year of many surprises, fond memories, and new book friends.

Wrap Up Post for 2014 Challenge!
When I signed up for this, I thought this would be the challenge I'd go overboard on. I've always been a huge rereader and there were several series I'd been meaning to tackle.
That...didn't quite happen. Oh, I definitely read more then 16! I think I managed to do that in two months, at the longest. But by the middle of the year...I kinda dropped off. I was really working through Audiobooks and had discovered too many great new books through all you wonderful people here. So, while I reread 50+ books this year, I expected it to be so much more.
I'm glad it's not though. I've never been more adventurous then this year and have enjoyed nearly every moment. So thank you all for helping me not hit my personal goal in this one.
As you can see, I got everything filled except for one pesky square at the top. I did start a book for it but between the holidays and the fact it didn't hold my interest, it just didn't get completed. I had lots of fun with this and will definitely check out future bingos they do.
