I do what I can. I figure it's only a matter of time before we have to change our name to the "MobileRead Co-Dependent Bookclub & Support Group"."

LOL!!!!

Welcome Mikaela & Laurel!!! :)

I found a bonus story as well. I've sent the full list to Mrs. J via PM.

Here are the Novels for the Black Dagger Series. Its a much shorter and less involved list than the Honorverse. There are no short stories of which I'm aware.

Black Dagger Brotherhood series:
Dark Lover
Lover Eternal
Lover Awakened
Lover Revealed
Lover Unbound
Lover Enshrined
Lover Avenged
Lover Mine
Lover Unleashed
Lover Reborn

Plus, there is the The Black Dagger Brotherhood: An Insider's Guide, but I don't think that should count for the challenge.

I've sent you the list via PM.

I can do the same for the Rachel Morgan series if you are going to set up that challenge as well.

Thank you so much for doing this and I hope you are having a very Happy Holiday! :)

Oh! I have the entire list of Honor Harrington novels & short stories, if you would like to have it.

Thank you! (Again) :)

Mrs J, would you be willing/able to set the dates for the challenges to cover the whole year, please?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yay! So that would make 2 of us for The Hollows and 3 of us for Honor Harrington.

I'm hoping to start HH in late spring, early summer since it is the longest(adding novels & bonus stories) of my challenge works.

...in challenges for any of the following series?:

Rachel Morgan/The Hollows

Honor Harrington

Black Dagger Brotherhood

MrsJoseph has kindly said that she would create them.

LOL!

Yeah she pounced pretty quickly! LOL! I was completely out of the loop, but I'll be ready next time "Hee Hee Hee" :D

Yeah, I've seen the shenanigans (am I even old enough to use that word !?!) you all have been pulling in the other threads! LOL

I'm just happy I got my main posts up, first. The rest, as they say, is gravy (or icing, depending on your mood) :D
