1. How many fiction books by LDS authors did you read? I am sad to say none but want to.

No, I did not read more as I would consider myself a speed reader. If anything I probably pushed myself to read faster to get more in for the challenge.

3. Did the reviews posted by other participants influence which titles you read? How?

No as I didn't get as much time as I would have liked to read more reviews by others.

4. Did the Whitney awards influence which titles you read? How?

No

5. Did the many, many virtual blog tours that happened this summer influence which titles you read? How?

No

6. Did you finish all the books you had planned to read? If not, why?

No, because I discovered a bunch of new ones I wanted to read first.

7. Did you discover any new authors whom you now love?

Yes, A whole bunch of new authors that I will read more of their books.
