I'm working on my 10th book of 11, which I'll finish today. However, I'll have to exert effort to get my last one read before the end of the month as I'll have a ton of papers to grade next week.
Good luck Lara! An outstanding effort.
Thanks Sandra! I did it!Need I say that I particularly like how goodbye transliterates into English? ;-)

Impressive Lisa Kay...way to finish strong
Hooray, Lisa Kay!
Okay I know I seriously missed this boat but I'm gonna fill it in. Why? Because I wanna say "Yea, I accepted a challenge and yea, I finished it."N - Night Shift 3 stars
I - The Iron Duke 4 stars
H - Heart of Steel 4 stars
A - A Dark Guardian 2 stars
O - One Night to Burn 3 stars
Okay, so A could technically be D for Dark, but I just couldn't bare to finish the A title originally chosen for this. It was truly that bad.
So there you have it! Now I'm gonna walk away like the boss with my full homogenized, two sugars with hazelnut additive Starbucks latte.
Yea
Good Gravy Beans... a Starbucks chai tea would be delish right now. **sigh** Somebody fax me one.
