Location: UK		I finished my 2015 challenges this month. Partly by cheating and adding Paul McAuley to my list of authors eligible for the Read More challenge (I read one of his collections earlier in the year), but I'm taking it.

I read:

Sabriel - Garth Nix (12 in 12 - Aurealis F)
The Planet Buyer - Cordwainer Smith (1960s - 1964)
Glamour in Glass - Mary Robinette Kowal (Second Best - Nebula (I think also reassigned The Red, which I'd previously logged against the Nebula, to the Campbell))
The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch - Philip K Dick (1960s - 1965)
Lyonesse II: The Green Pearl - Jack Vance (Second Best - Locus F, Read More, Omnibus, Series A-Z - L for Lyonesse)
Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes (1960s - 1966, 12 in 12 - Nebula)
Tales from Earthsea - Ursula Le Guin (Series A-Z - E for Earthsea)

So, completed challenges:
Reader's Choice: 5/5
Short Fiction: 12/12
Published 2014: 16/16
1950s: 10/10
Out There: 12/12
WoGF: 12/12
Omnibusters: 8/8
12 in 12: 12/12
Second Best: 12/12
Read More: 9/9

Ongoing:
1960s: 7/10
1970s: 0/10
Tie-in: 0/6
Series A-Z: 12/26 (C EF IJ LM O RST W)
Published 2015: 4/6

I'm not currently planning to take any more on for 2016 (bar maybe the 80s and 90s Definitive challenges), but you lot can always tempt me. Or I can have another random enthusiasm. I want to make some progress on the BSFA award list instead. I've been pursuing it for a few years but keep getting badly sidetracked.
