I admit I am inconsistent about my challenges (having abandoned one early on), but I do feel that if I'm nine months through an annual challenge, I might as well see it through.
I don't really need a challenge to read. That would be a bit like having a challenge to breathe, or eat.
My challenges are normally intended to make me try new things, or maybe to make me finish old things if I've been trying new things too much.
I guess the main point of my daily short story challenge was that I had accumulated a lot of collections and anthologies, and never seemed to make the time to read them. And yes, I have cleared all of the ones I paid for - including some paperbacks that went back decades - and several I didn't. I think I will carry on working on my freebies. I might discover something I like. There is a collection I'd like to borrow from my library when I'm ready (Lord Peter Views the Body by Dorothy L Sayers), and it's kind of nice to use my monthly Kindle Owner's Lending Library loan on short stories, since I then feel like I'm getting my money's worth from Prime without having to interrupt my other plans. And obviously it does help with my overall "TBR".
