Congrats Christine :)
Great new Autumn challenge, and good timing - I hit Hasting book store this morning (for a bookmark and left with 3 books as well), I would have had to reset, at least now everyone has to reset

[Christine]

I'm glad the timing worked out, Debbie. I've been itching to buy Nevermore, which is 90% of why I stayed up late these last two nights to reach the goal.

[Debbie]

lol, tactic worked for me too. I got 2 Christina Dodd's and finally found Deeply, Desperately, which I had been looking for everywhere.
