Yay for you!!"

Thanks. I also completed the genre juice mini challenge... but they were all cross challenged... I know I am diabolical. :-P

Congratulations AV!!!!!!!

Congrats, Shelleyrae & AV!

Way to go, Awesomevegan!

Thank you everyone! :)

Yay, this was my first monthly too! I think there's something to it, makes me feel all accomplished, even if they're ALL cross-challenged into longer challenges, lol.

That's the beauty of it Vivian, you can feel all accomplished and chip away at the big ones, all at the same time! ;)

Yeah yeah, don't need to convince me anymore, I'm accepting that I'm becoming a challenge addict :)

Acceptance is the first step. LOL! >:)

I thought that was denial! Which I was in for awhile, lol. But now I'm at peace with it.

My name is Vivian, and I'm a challenge addict.

LOL! I guess you're right. Can ya tell I'm not a 12-stepper? And certainly not when it comes to books, reading or challenges! LOL!

Hey Steph, hope your birthday was a great one!

I completed this challenge, but forgot to bring my list with me today. I'll bring it in and post tomorrow; I'm thinking I read 4 -- not sure.

Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Steph!
