Thanks Jennifer!

I think since I'm already reading books for the month of February that I might as well just start this challenge now and go to sometime in July. I hope that's ok.

Would I be able to check off the name Rose since I read it in February?

Jeez Shay I can't believe you successfully did Valentine's Day! Were any of the books any good?

I'm reading as often as I can just to try and get my word done I'll probably shock myself if I manage to get it done in time.

Well Rose would work if I change my start time to February instead of March.

Ok, thanks Galla!

Ok question I found a book that might work for the Rich Girl Heroine, she's the daughter of a senator and is forced to live in a world where she feels like an outsider I don't think she's really spoiled.

I think she'd also fit in well with the Outsider/Rebel/Bluestocking Heroine, but I'm a little unsure because she's the daughter of a senator.

Any opinions?

I finished a book three days ago and the name Rose was used is it ok if I use that for this challenge as well? It was part of another challenge that I'm doing for February is that ok?

I also read a book this year with the name Nicholas in it would that count for this challenge too?

Good luck finding it, I know I liked it I just hope my praise was justified.

Sans, I finished reading Undressing Mercy earlier today it was pretty there where moments where I took breaks that had me picking it right back up again, as well as telling myself I'd read some more tomorrow.

Which as you can tell didn't happen, I really got into it I'm hoping to read some more by Ms. Lee very soon, the hard part was trying to rate it; it was too good for a three and four star rating but not good enough for the whole 5/5. So I ended up giving it a 4.5, I don't really know your reading preferences Sans but I'm almost certain that you'll get into this book as much as I did!

Thanks for helping me find it!

No problem Sans! Will continue to keep you updated if that's ok with you.

I'm actually reading a book with Rebecca in it right now is it ok if when I'm done with the book I can go ahead and mark it on the list, even though I said I'd start in March?

I'm in too! Sticking with easy for the moment, if I can get done with some other challenges plus this one I might up the ante a little bit.

Yeah go ahead, that's fine with me!

I'm sure that would work too! This sounds really promising I hope we get a chance to do this!

You know Galla when I first saw this challenge was going on I was thinking about that exact same idea, one of your ideas was to do a rich girl hero?

Would that be like she was brought up in a rich family and she wanted to...I don't get away from her rich life and do something different with her life? Something like that?

Oh and Galla? Thanks for your suggestions for the Alpha Hero!

Also I think for me that it would be a little easier to do a female version of this challenge as oppose to the male version, that's just my opinion though because I kind of had a hard time with the hero challenge.

I've been reading manga and watching anime for awhile now, and honestly no I don't think they're just for younger readers/viewers. I'm in my early twenties and I still enjoy manga/anime very much, heck I still enjoy some of the anime that I knew of when I was a little younger.

With help from my younger brother who's also a huge anime/manga fan, I've learned about other manga/anime that I'd never heard of before.

As for manga/anime recs. I'm very much into the manga that is considered mostly for girls/older girls, but I do occasionally get into manga that are considered mostly for boys. The fact that I'm older doesn't stop me from occasionally perusing the manga section of my bookstore.

As for my favorite anime/manga? I really like the anime Hellsing, and of course there's Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, Trinity Blood, Vampire Hunter D: Blood Lust,Nightwalker: Midnight Detective, and Nightwalker: Eternal Darkness, oh and also Gravitation.

Yes some of them are surprisingly dark, but I think that just makes them even more intriguing to me.
I also like...as far as mangas go; Vampire Knight, Descendants of Darkness, Her Majesty's Dog, and many other ones that I can't think of at the moment.

I'm not entirely sure, sure that other authors should turn their original books into mangas just to get more adults to read manga, it should be their choice. My mom has gotten into anime as well but she really only gets into what she wants to.

Good Job Angie!

Hi Sans! I said I'd let you know what I think of Undressing Mercy, I'm not done yet but it's pretty intriguing. I accidentally found out that Undressing Mercy was the start of a trilogy, the one book I found has another story staring a character from Undressing Mercy.

I thought you might want to know that.

I'm sure I will, thanks for your input about the nerd hero category.

If you have any ideas for the Protector Hero or the Alpha Hero, I'd gladly accept suggestions.

I'm gonna start reading in order as soon as I get the first book.
