118012 I finally managed to finish my last book of the challenge. It was the "Exploration" one. I had some failed attempts at leaving my comfort zone, so I feel like I've really worked for my Blackout!

Good luck finishing those last couple of books, Renee!

118012 Nice :)

118012 I did find Amelia a bit much at first, but she grew on me. You're right about Emerson, too. You don't often see a male lead who yells and loses his temper all the time, and no one thinks anything of it. I do think they have a good effect on each other by the end, though.

Evelyn and Walter remind me of Jane and Mr. Bingley - just so amiable.
Jul 17, 2015 08:02AM

118012 Yes, I love all those layers. I will probably start book 2 next month, since I like to take a break between series installments. Looking forward to it!
