This challenge really should have been easy… It was all about reading free ebooks and I have tons of free ebooks that I downloaded from Project Gutenburg and several from Baen’s free library. However, there were just so many good books that I came across this year that I couldn’t bring myself to put any of the free books I had downloaded before any of the other books I chose. Not that the books from Project Gutenburg and Baen aren’t good, of course, but some of them I had already read, some I just wasn’t in the mood for, or some were part of series and I didn’t have the whole series. You guys know how I am with a series!
2011 Show Me the Free Challenge
Needless to say, since I wasn’t able to read a single book that qualified for this challenge, I failed. :-( However, don’t let that stop you from grabbing some of Baen’s free books! Trust me, they’re worth it! They have some of the best sci-fi authors giving their books away for free! No DRM, too. It’s worth it, trust me!

Well, this whole site is pretty much about me. You can click the pretty "about me" link in the menu bar near the top of the page if you like, but everything on this site gives you some insight into my psyche. Good luck returning to normal. :-p
Don’t be hard on yourself, I failed at my own reading challenge too. This year, I’m gonna try to fit in one FREE read a month, and hopefully, I’ll stick to my plan.
Thanks for the wrap up and the links. I didn’t know about Baen’s free library. Glad I have it bookmarked now.
I really took on too many challenge in 2011. I read plenty, but it was a hectic year in general and overloading my challenge list was a poor decision. On the plus side, I’ve completed my collection of certain series (or what was out) so that I can read straight through. :-D
And if you like Sci-Fi, the Baen free library is one of the best web locations in the world!!
