Heh, me too. Since my last team challenge ended, I've been staring at my tbr like a lost little lamb. :P

Welcome Storm! :)

Filipa - You've been put in mine and Joanne's igloo whoop!!!"

I know, yay!! I'm a little lost too, but I'm sure it'll be fine once I catch up on things. :)

I can practically hear the evil cackle. :P

I'm off to bed now, but I'll do some investigating in the morning (and probably sign up. Because challenges). *grumbles at enabling teammates* lol

Lol I've seen it posted but so far I've been able to resist. Wanted to see how tower teams goes first.

Start with [bookc..."

My shelves are mostly mm, but (and I'm not even too sure why) I've never read that series.

*hides*

Lol I guess maybe because my taste runs more toward non-explicit fantasy. But I'll have to give them a try one of these days, even if it's just to see what the fuss is all about.

I'm from Portugal, so my timezone is GMT.

The last great book(s) I read were Luck in the Shadows, Stalking Darkness and Traitor's Moon. I'm really loving this series. Also Rattlesnake, which was surprising since I'm not usually a big fan of anything with a western feel, but this was amazing.

Right now I'm reading Guardian.

My shelf is here: tower-teams-iv

Hi team (and Tea)! :) It's my first time playing, but I'm really looking forward to this challenge.
