Jennifer wrote: "Brandy, very creative. I haven't read anything from either series... maybe I will check them out!"I think you may like both authors. They each have an interesting twist to vampires, and thus far, I've enjoyed the books I've read from each author. That is why I wanted to craft my "prom" challenge, more motivation to read each series, not that I needed more motivation past the first books lol.
I just joined and this is what made me want to join. I love to reread my books, can I do this before I read the books and if I need to I can add new books in as well?

Oh awesome!! I know what I am gonna do after I feed the animals!!!! Thank you! It does seem like lots of fun!!!

Sallie(Shuga) wrote: "That book just sort of fit right in with the idea of having JB singing his song "why don't we get drunk & ..."LOL!
Angie you're a superstar! Way to go! :-)
I love this challenge but it's way too overwhelming for me. But, I love reading what everyone else has come up with.

I've finally almost chosen all of my books for this challenge. Only one more to choose! So far, I am really enjoying this and the books that I've read.
I love the ideas people came up with for their proms. I was going to do this challenge but I have so many other challenges that I have been slacking on that I'm going to wait.
Love your prom, Robin! Very clever. Hey, that rainbow isn't easy to do (I'm doing it elsewhere). Love your song list too, LOL! Can't wait to see how the night ends.
Lisa Kay wrote: "Love your prom, Robin! Very clever. Hey, that rainbow isn't easy to do (I'm doing it elsewhere). Love your song list too, LOL! Can't wait to see how the night ends."Thanks Lisa Kay!!! No kidding on the rainbow. I was trying to use books that I own or that are on my kindle for this challenge and I couldn't find one indigo colored. So I just had to pick one that was close lol. I was looking on my bookshelves here at home when I ran across the books that are also song titles lol. Then found a couple more on my kindle. That was just pure luck : ) I have a start to "how the night ends" and "outfit" but not going to post it till I get it complete.
