Cathy, you've got Glory in Death listed for 1980 - it was published in 1995.

Sorry.

I wonder how I did that... thanks for pointing it out before I read it since I already have a 1995.

What the heck. I`ll give this monster a chance.

I've been wanting to do this for a while. I figured I'd better start now or I'll have to keeping adding more titles! lol I'm also backdating this challenge to include the book I just started reading. I saw somewhere in one of the posts that it was allowed. Hope that's still okay!
