Do all the books have to be romance? I made my entire list and didn't even think about that :(

Jensine wrote: "Do all the books have to be romance? I made my entire list and didn't even think about that :("

Jensine....I saw on the first page that they mentioned it could be any genre. I'm making 2 lists....a multi-genre list and a romance list. Not sure which I will tackle first.

I love this idea and can't wait to get started!

I thought The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was published in 2005?

No problem Andrew, good luck. I've made two attempts at this challenge and failed miserably both times, I hope you have better luck!

Lol! The earlier ones are the most difficult ones (obviously since they are left), but I'm looking forward to explore some more Julie Garwood soon. The Bride - please arrive soon. Lol!

And I see that you have a lot of interesting books on your later years. I already have A Night Like This on my bookshelf waiting to be read so let me now when you're going to read it xD And Suddenly You is definitely a book I am very curious to pick up - I totally had forgotten about it until I saw it on your list!

Good luck, Andrew. This was a fun challenge!

Good luck, Karen. Wow, 1991! I was in high school! LOL
