2013 is come to the end, so this is the time to wrap-up all reading challenge for this year. Honestly, I feel very bad to tell all the host that I failed almost challenge that I joined, but I still want to summarize it, here they are:
Let's Read Plays hosted by Fanda Classiclit
Duration : 01 November 2012 - 31 October 2013
One Play at a Month
Plan : Read 12 Plays
Result: None
I never read plays before, so when Fanda started this challenge, I thought I'll try it. Unfortunately, after I started read Julius Caesar part 1, I can't continued read it. I hope someday I can get my courage to start it over.
