I did! I think I might go for the same challenge next month. It's a crime to have good books like that on my shelf getting distracted by shiny ones xD

Sorry, I forgot all about it. I try to get it up at least a week ahead, but I've been so busy trying to catch up reading and reviewing, I totally forgot. **hangs head in shame**

Me too! As I have finished off a bit of challenges in February, maybe I should treat myself to a couple of her books in March xD I still haven't gotten around to her Brother Sinister series.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh, I LOVE that series!!!!! She's such a fantastic storyteller!
