I didn't finish this challenge. I read only 12 books out of 30 (Post #75) but it was fun and I discovered a lot of new authors. Congrats to all who finished! :)

I didn't finish either Dragana, but I did have fun reading some different books that I probably wouldn't have read otherwise.

Finished this with 31 and finally got around to adding the last few books. This was a great challenge and I ended up reading some great books that I might not have otherwise. Thanks for the challenge!
