Thank you CaroB...Dani and I looking together for our books but we want different books. I wasn't sure it that would work and the quickstops are driving me crazy.

I checked the first post and if I'm not wrong any book from the series Carsington brothers by Loretta Chase would work for C?

Yeah, that is what makes this soooooooooo impossible hard.

And, yes, Carrie, my mind is in the gutter. However, I do NOT know about size.

Let's ask CaroB.


message 137: by Lina (new)

Lina | 5563 comments @Carrie: LOL, no Carrie, this is one place where size definitely does not matter. I figure it's already challenging enough to find the books and then have to read them in order, I'm not going to add more obstacles in the way.

@Lindy-Lane: Susan is right, Part of the rules for this one are to read them in order. Sorry :-(
