- Did you finish reading all the books on your fall reading list? If not, why not? No, I didn't finish every book on my list. But I had a long list. So I'm pleased with what I did accomplish.
- Did you stick to your original goals or did you change your list as you went along? I did not change my list as I went along. So I read dozens and dozens of books that were not on the list this fall season.
- What was your favorite book that you read this fall? Least favorite? Why? My most favorite would have to be Nation or The Way We Live Now. Though I love, love, loved Perfect Fifths as well. The truth is, I read a lot of great books this fall. My least favorite would have to be Willoughby's Return. It was a disappointing Austen sequel.
- Did you discover a new author or genre this fall? Did you love them? Not love them? Several of these authors--probably four or five--were new-to-me. I enjoyed most of them. (Excluding Zane Grey). I'd have to say Terry Pratchett John Marsden were great discoveries.
- Did you learn something new because of Fall Into Reading 2009 – something about reading, about yourself, or about a topic you read about? Not particularly.
- What was your favorite thing about the challenge? The reading!

You did a lot of reading! I ended up reading books not on my list, too. That happens. It was a fun fall reading.
Wow! You read a lot of interesting books. Love your reviews - very well done. I'm going to have to check out a few. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Great job, Becky. Sounds like you did a ton of reading!
I also enjoy reading your reviews, and I've added some from of your list to my read list... thanks :)
You did a good job with all of the books on your list! :)
Fantastic fall reading. I'm still on the fence about reading The Girl In The Arena.
