Belkis--for the challenges you have to re-post EACH month. So one post doesn't do it. If you post after each book, you should have your initial posting (Yay, I'm in) and then 10 additional posts listing your books. If you only update it once--when you finish--then again, you need that initial posting (Yep, I'm in) and then a second post showing all 10 of your books. This is to make it easier on our records keeper (She's so NICE about keeping track of how many books each of us has read AND how many books the GROUP has read total in these challenges.)

Thanks Ann!

Some people update once a week or every couple of books so you may update at 3 books then 5 then 6 then 10. Or whatever works into your schedule.

The main point is I don't have time to go back and read 4-6 pages of posts to see who updated thier original or not. I only check the NEW posts. I'd love to have the free time to do it but the hard truth is I don't. I gotta make time for my own reading too.

If I've missed you on previous months that you finished send me a pm with your post number and I will get the spread sheet updated.

Same goes for anyone else I missed. I'll be updateing quarterly totals next week so check to make sure I've got you on the sheet right.

It’s all about HER

1) A book where the heroine is a “professional” woman (by which I mean one of the careers that we traditionally consider “professional”—or someone that is in middle to upper management in a “non-traditional” profession.)
2) Heroine is engaged in a non-stereotypical profession (ex. Mercy Thompson or military or police.)
3) Heroine is non-WASP—since so many of them ARE—ex. (again) Mercy Thompson, since she is half N.A. So heroine is African American, Hispanic, N.A., East Indian, Oriental, Middle Eastern etc.
4) Poison Princess Kresley Cole read 3-14-13
5) Ghouls Just Want to Have Fun Kathleen Bacus read 3-7-13 *nickname is Calamity Jayne and she has super curly, crazy, uncooperative hair

It’s all about HIM
1) The Cereal Murders Diane Mott Davidson read 3-4-13 *Tom is a police officer
2) He’s a geek—scientist, teacher, hacker, computer expert, and, for a preference, HUMAN
3) A Tale of Two Demon Slayers Angie Fox read 3-13-13 *Dimitri is a griffin
4) He’s a vampire or incubus
5) He’s a magic user

Thank you thank you so much, you're awesome!
