Dina (missdina) | 718 comments As someone who has little reading time these days, I like the idea of a quarterly challenge better, but you should do what's "easier" for you, Dhes. After all, you're the one who has to do all the hard work. ;)

I'm going to start a quarterly LLFBL challenge, starting in January. It'll overlap the others, but it's going to be easy so it shouldn't be a problem, and the books we read for that should easily count in other challenges.

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Dhes' Lisa's Ladies' Halloween Challenge

Done! It was a great party. I was a little nervous to attend this one because I'd heard so many differing thoughts on it, but once there, I didn't want to leave! The party/plot itself was kind of lame, but the the hot men made it worth staying until the party/book ended! Though I loved the Host/hero, I didn't care for the Hostess/heroine at all.


Party #1 -
Location - Erotica Avenue
Costume - Mask, fishnet stockings, corset
Book - Surrender to Me (Wicked Lovers, #4) by Shayla Black
