Today is the last day of winter Coyer. I am always sad when this reading challenge ends as I always have a lot of fun with it. The challenge ran from December 19th to March 4th.

My Goals

You nailed your goals. Great job. I’ve never done Coyer. I just don’t do many challenges any more. I’m just not very good about tracking them. Anyway, great job.

Same here I don’t participate in too many challenges, but I do enjoy them and find a few each year that I participate in. If I do too many it’s hard to track, but with this amount I manage. Coyer is always a fun challenge and I participate each time they host it 🙂

Great job on COYER Lola! I like how you listed all the covers- mysteries and cozies sometimes have the best covers! 🙂

I was trying out something new this time and listing the covers, it looks so fun and pretty to see all the covers. And I agree the cozies have the best covers!
Wow, you did a fantastic job! Congrats! I didn’t participate, but I really love the idea of this. I have more physical books I need to read and get through than e-books.

I have more e-books than physical books, as I only get e-books for review and acquire lots of freebies and buy some myself. I also still have a lot of physical books to read, but usually read less of those each month. It’s a fun challenge and I am glad I made most of my goals.
Good job!! I can’t wait until the next round.
I read my goal of 25 books, but I only reviewed 13 of them! D’oh!

Same here, I can’t wait for summer Coyer, this challenge is always so much fun!
That’s great you made your goal and I hope you can get the rest reviewed soon as well!
You did amazing, Lola! And you managed to get some other challenges tied in with COYER as well 🙂

I always like tying in some other challenges with Coyer, although it’s too bad I didn’t get any books read for the Blogger Shame one so far. I did great for the New release challenge 🙂
