Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA		Hey everyone! It's December 31st and time to wrap up our challenge. We had 16 finishers, though a few of the participants didn't write the request number of reviews. But whether you completed the challenge or just got a few books read, I hope that everyone enjoyed getting a chance to spend more time with authors they may not have read more of without some motivation. By participating in other challenges, I've discovered more new authors, so my own list of authors in whose works I want to delve deeper grows longer and longer. I'll probably run this challenge again in 2015 because I bought 9 used paperbacks at Orycon (the Oregon SF Convention) by classic authors like Silverberg, Delaney, and Simak. I may also be hosting a Tolkien challenge. I want to read The Hobbit and LOTR again, and finally attempt The Silmarillion, his Beowulf translation and analysis, and some of the works his son edited and published. I'm thinking there may be a few other folks in our community who might also like to read some more Tolkien but haven't yet. I hope to see you in one of my challenges next year. If not I'm sure I'll see many of you in the forum.

Thanks again for participating. I wish you all a happy and healthy new year!
