The
2012 Olympics came to an end today and throughout the duration of the Olympic Games Random House of Canada was hosting a reading challenge for those of us who had Olympic-size TBR piles to conquer!
I, of course, had a HUGE TBR pile (think of a whole mountain range of Everests), so I gladly signed up for the Olympic Reading Trials! I made the team and set my sights on a goal of 1500 pages. Read-a-thons throughout the year had helped me train for this event and soon I was off and running. Today, when I looked at the final scores, I found that I had exceeded my goal by 311 pages! A gold medal--plus!
