DONE!!!!!! 10/10 CompletedFroi of the Exiles was off the chain. It was a fantastical, breathtaking, heartbreaking story with lots of brutality that made me physically ill. I'm gonna chase that with the new Curio Vignette Exposure to cleanse my palette.
Guys be sure to check out Christine's Book to Movie challenge. I'm super psyched about it!
Great job, Nakeesha!I just added the first in the Lumatere Chronicles to my audible wish list a few days ago, because I saw it pop up somewhere else. I may have to move it up in the TBR pile.
Congrats everyone!I have the first book in the Lumatere Chronicles too. I just haven't had a chance to get to it yet. I wish I could read faster...
Christine & Jean, one of my friends was so enthralled with Lumatere 1 & 2 that they ordered 3 from Australia, where its already out! Just be forewarned that they are dense books that will suck you in and take an unshakeable hold on your lives.
Thanks everyone, I've really enjoyed this challenge :)Congrats to Ladymurmur, Amyiw, Elidanora and Nakeesha!
Congrats y'all! I really crapped out on this one. Ahh well, see ya for #12 ☻

Please note that the Optional Book categories are just that. Optional. You may choose to do none of them or all of them depending on how big of a challenge you want.
