Yes, ended (October 31st actually), but unfortunately not completed as I missed out on one: Mansfield Park by Jane Austen did just not flow with me and I couldn't finish it in time. I am not even reading it at the moment, I don't feel for it at this time of the year.
So in the end, I have read
- Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca [x May 31st 2009]
- Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey [x June 2009]
- Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina [x August 2009]
For the "Will-be-classics"-round:
- Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner [x 25th May 2009]
I liked this challenge alot because it made me read for good one books I have wanted to read for a while: Anna Karenina. I am very glad about this read and especially loved the idea that I partly read it during my stay in Moscow and St Petersburg, two important locations in the story.

Your comment box is doing something funny--you might test a few comments to make sure they're working like you want (and forgive me if this comes out funny or duplicated as I tried to leave a comment prior).
Anyway, even though you didn't quite get there with Mansfield Park, it sounds like the challenge was a really successful one for you. And congrats on finishing Anna K!! Tolstoy scares me a bit. :) Hope you'll join us next year!
Just to follow up...I had to tab a few times to get to the word verification after hitting "post comment"--not to tell you what to do, but I'm guessing others are probably having difficulties leaving comments. You might consider either a pop-up comment box (instead of this imbedded box) or turning off the word verification.
