Welcome to the challenge, Hanita!
So, I'm doing like two monthly challenges already, but I'll do this one too. :D Is it okay to come back and edit this post and put the number and specific books I'll read later? Last question...can I use books I read in January from other challenges here? Or do they have to be just for this challenge alone?
ETA to number and specific books:
I'm shooting for four!
Sapphire (two books):
: Jan. 4, 2014
Male Watcher's Day (two books):
Jan. 10, 2014
