So it's 2 days 'till 2015 ends and I'm 8 books away from finishing the 
challenge.  I am officially saying that I won't be able to finish it in time.  There are 2 books that are not available here where I am spending my holidays.  Plus, I just want to enjoy my holiday break like catching up with old friends and hanging out with the family.  
Maybe if I extend the challenge 10 days into 2016?  We'll see.
