Good. I didn't like it as much as the others in the series. But still a solid 3 star read that made me tear up in it.

Great! Welcome, Dami.

I just made it by the skin of my teeth last year. This year I'm shooting for two a month, to keep me on track.

We'll done, Lisa Kay! You're on a roll! <3

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Thanks, Susanne! Yeah, I have a plan of attack, but I'm being flexible - if I find something else. (As in the case of my XX.) I have at least two books picked out for each letter, in case I can't get one from the library. And I'm shooting for two letters a month. So, definitely taking the challenge serious this year. LOL!
