Wow ! This one starts very similarly to James Patterson's Women's Murder Club Series and I loved whatever little I have read of that series !

I tried Nora Roberts (and I must say I didnt pick up a great book to start off) so I am not making any judgements on her as yet.. but was really eager to see her as Mr. Robb ! :P

Honestly, for me the sheer length of the series itself is enchanting ! Wonder if there is any series that has been on for 41 books and the story still flows (I believe) in a definitive manner ! :)

Thanks to the encouragement by you guys, I just happened to start this one a few hours early at work itself :P

Beth, I will be reading Naked in Death next.. let me check where it fits in !

I am currently in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (EST)
Its 5:54 PM as I post it (-6:06 hours to midnight)

Starting 09Feb2015, I will be in India till the end of the month where it is 4:23 AM as I post it (+4:24 hours after midnight)

Barbados ! Naice ! :) One of those places where I can just dream of going, as of now !
Welcome, June !
Welcome to this crazy racer team ! :)

As I said, I havent planned my books as yet, so Beth, please put me down for anything that needs completion and others havent got to it.

I am a little unsure which books I would be reading a week down the line, so if it helps, I will finish the cards that others dont.

Stupid Question #1 : Since this challenge is going to start on 01Feb, I am assuming the books that we read in between now and then dont count, right ?!

It is nice to meet you too, Beth.

.. and as I said, you will rock as a captain !
Go for it ! :)

Hi, Laura ! :)

Isnt this already getting exciting ?!
*does happy dance*
*makes a mental-note to stop using asterisk-quotes* :P

Yay ! So we are all set up.
So glad to be a part of a cool team, I am sure aptly called, Speed Racers !
*waves at Beth, Alexa, Kirsten, Laura, Radhika and Teddy* :D

I must say this is a very well-thought out challenge.. and Beth, all the best for your first stint as a captain. I am sure you are gonna rock ! We are all with you !

I'm Apoorv from Lancaster, PA.
When someone asks me what is my favourite genre, I tend to get tongue-tied, but then I can say I havent tried Paranormal Romances or Vampires as yet so barring that I prefer reading everything from erotica to philosophy and mystery to mythology.

My Shelf : Challenge-PBBA-UNO

This seems an interesting and well-crafted task.. would certainly like to join in !

✔ Books read/month : 5-6 books month
✔ Live in : Pennsylvania (North America) - EST, but will be in India for most part of February.
✔ Captain or Co-Captain : No, as I would be travelling and do not want to hold things up if I do not get to update things due to travel schedules.
