2013 Fifty Fifty Me Challenge Summary

Clearly, I became increasingly unfaithful in reporting my fiftyfifty.me statistics as 2013 wore on. When I last reported in September, my stats were:



Books total: 90Minus folktales: 53Movies 28Major 37/7Minor 2/3


One thing I learned was that I was not going to watch 50 new movies in 2013. I would much rather read or watch a TV series on DVD or Netflix such as Orange is the New Black, Grimm or Murdoch Mysteries. So, I pretty much gave up that challenge. In fact, the only new (to me) movies I can remember watching between October-December were Enough Said and Despicable Me. So, I only watched 30 movies.



I think that I read twelve more chapter books/novels:



Alphabetical by author:

I only read two books by John Steinbeck in 2013. Maybe I'll read the last one in 2014.



I read twenty one more folktales, but I left Japan behind and visited stories of Aboriginal Australia and China. To see them, click my labels for each country.



Final stats (or so I think, I've never been good at math):
