Reading Challenges: Progress halfway through the year

June is over, we are half-way through the year now- I thought I'd check up on my progress through my reading challenges.  Links take you to my reviews.
I signed up for 5 reading challenges this year:

The Vampire Challenge hosted by Parajunkee
Read 20 books with a vampire as a main character.

4 / 20 books. 20% done!

I'm not doing very well at this so far, but I still really want to read the Morganville Vampires series, so maybe I will catch up!




Out For Blood by Alyxandra Harvey
Afterlife by Claudia Gray
Defiance by Lili St.Crow
Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel

The Shifter Challenge hosted by Parajunkee
Read 20 books with a werewolf or shifter as the main character.

6 / 20 books. 30% done!

Hmm... I'm not doing very well at this one either, but at some point I want to read the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs, and the Shifter series by Rachel Vincent. I really need to get cracking on these if I want to complete the challenge!
