psst LK, make her date Mason from hehehe

**hee hee** I liked him, Midu! Didn't you? Of course, he is uber-alpha.

i liked him much better when he became less of an ass lol

A. The Mercy Seat (Alvetta)
U. Untraceable
G. The Fault in Our Stars (green)
U. Killing Lincoln:..."

So is it okay to make a substitution for one of my books? I started reading The Mercy Seat, and it's just so poorly written that I really don't want to finish it. I just read another book that would fill it's spot on my list. Is that okay?

I updated my list on my original post.
