Stav, The Fury counts, you silly old bean. So you've read nine.

And, alas, I have read seven. First time I didn't finish! I have to tally up the other books I've read though...

yeah...but it wasn't intended to be on the list...makes me feel like I'm cheating...but if you insist..ok!

Then you're calling everyone on the board a cheater since I've seen lots of swaps made on people's lists!

LOL

I never called anyone else a cheater....just that I feel like a cheater.....but it's not cheating, is it? right?

Great job, all!!!! Good luck for May. I haven't even started because I'm at CostumeCon. :)

WAY TO GO EVERYONE

So far April is a record month with the most number books read and the most number of participants who have completed the challenge.

Last month we have 168 books read and 13 participants have completed.

wow!!! april rocked!!!!!

1. J.R. Ward - Lover Enshrined
2. Victoria Dahl - A Rake's Guide to Pleasure (um, not really supernatural, but SOOOOOO good!)
3. Susan Kearney - The Dare (this had so much potential, but never quite gelled - the HEA and sci-fi plots seemed to be two separate books)
4. Marjorie M. Liu - Shadow Touch (Liu is rapidly becoming my favorite HEA writer; I adored this book.)
5. Janet Chapman - Charming the Highlander

Sorry it took me so long to get this in; I've been flat-out for the past 36 hours.

No worries, Nicole.

I adjusted the update.

Michelle M--which Smoke and Mirror book was that? If the Tanya Huff, that would have made TEN. And the Huff books definately have a paranormal element to them. SOrry I haven't replied earlier, but Oz and I were off revelling in CostumeCon

No, it was actually Smoke and Mirrors, which is a book of short stories by Neil Gaiman.

Which was GREAT, by the way.

But thanks for trying to make me look better PNR-wise!
