Good start! And that's an ambitious rule, but the authors will really appreciate your reviews :)

[Tommy]

I tend to keep my reviews short and sweet, so it's not too big of a deal. and I generally enjoy most things, so hopefully I'm helping these people out.

I'd rather "fail" the challenge, but help someone else in some small way rather than rush to the finish, you know?

Tommy: Great start, and that's a great way to look at it! I know I always appreciate reviews I get on my books, even if they're really short. Actually, even ratings are appreciated by most authors, but reviews are appreciated more because they can be helpful in showing the author where they need to improve with their writing.

[Victoria]

Great job so far, Kritika and Sherrie!

I'm glad to have two authors approve of my reviewing policy :] Hopefully when I put some stories out into the world, the good juju will swing back around.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

I love that attitude Tommy! I'm sure you'll have plenty of good juju coming your way :)

[Victoria]

I second what David said! :)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Wow! 6 Dwellers/Country books on your list? Thank you so much! And I'm glad they fit a bunch of your missing letters ;)

[Victoria]

Great start, Mary... And awesome about all those country and dwellers saga books being on your list; they should be on the lists for anyone who hasn't already read them in my opinion!

[Mary]

Once I got going..... ;-)

[Victoria]

Mary wrote: "Once I got going..... ;-)"

Easily done... Only reason it took me so long to read them all is that I had to wait for David to publish them; it was pure torture!

[Mary]

The rest of the books came in today's mail. I feel like "a" is taken care of.... :-)

Just being honest, David! :)

[Victoria]

David: Well done on getting your "D" book read! :)

Catherine: No, that's not a requirement, but if you can do it with at least mostly YA books then that would be awesome; the books on my list were from all sorts of age groups and genres. Usually if it has to be YA books only it will say in the challenge description. Anyway, great start to the challenge!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Great to have you join the challenge, Catherine! And yes, it's up to you, but feel free to add all types of books to your list, if you want :)

[Cat]

Thanks David! Your books would have been up there but I didn't read them this year...maybe that means they should get a re-read ;D.

And thank you, Victoria, for answering my question! :)
