Hey Nikki. I'm really sorry that your question snuck past me. Since the number 12 comes before 'Rounds,' the book would be applicable for a 'T' entry, as Fran had detailed out in her questioning response.

Once again....sorry I missed your question first time around.

Happy reading!!!

Thanks for the clarification! I decided not to use it anyway since the ending made me mad! :) I need to get on the ball though cause its looking like everyone is finishing early and I have a ways to go!

Congrats to everyone who's already finished!

Hahaha glad things worked out....though I guess not so much with the ending.

Almost there Susanne!!

And since the world didn't end....keep it up everyone. Hope y'all can squeeze in some reading time over the holidays. And I hope everyone has a wonderful time over the next couple weeks.

Congratulations Janine!! Hope you enjoyed the challenge!

[Dani]

Ha! I found the challenge I'd signed up for. Am I doing well? Not really, but I've read two books which is HUGE for me.

Um, what are they? Um...

I'm not even sure how they correlate to the challenge. Let's see:

Both Maisey Yates who happens to be a NA writer. One is a Presents, one is a M&B, so N.Amer, UK. They both seem to take place in Europe so I'm gonna say I knocked the two easiest continents off my challenge and start looking for an NZ writer to read.

Cheers and thanks for keeping me (somewhat) honest.

Okay. I didn't go about this quite right. Since I started part way through, I thought I'd fit books I'd read to the continents. Only problem is that I didn't read enough n's and r's. Oh well. Still a couple weeks to finish! I've got North America and Antarctica almost done - the rest of my books just won't fit. So this will have to do!

Welcome Katy! Usually that is just fine, but I can't say for sure with this challenge. I'm sure one of the mods or Makenzie will be along soon to answer your question!
