I think I will lose track of all the challenges I'm participating:) but I can't resist

[Joann]

Hi Maggie - you may want to think about creating separate bookshelves for each of your challenges. It would help you keep track of them all :)

As another option, there is a Members Reading List under the main RRRC page where you can create your own page.

I can't resist either. I love to read...

Wasn't sure if I should post this but thought y'all would like to know that I finally found a book with a female character who has a name that starts with an "U".

It's a freebie right now on Amazon for Kindle users:
