I did it!! On my third attempt I actually finished it - 2 weeks early!!!! I'm in a state of shock, I can't believe I actually did it!! There were some absolutely cracking books in there (and some not go great), what made it even better was that I was able to finish up with Eve and Roarke - Portrait in Death.
