[Steph, Serious series addict]

WTG, Sam! I think I'll finish soon myself. :D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

WOOHOO, baby! All finished! :D
100/100 completed

[Kim]

I'm binge-reading the Psy-Changeling series and feel like I will never finish this challenge. I just finished reading Shield of Winter so that leaves me with 2 book and novella to read - I'm going to take a break before starting Silver Silence since that's starting a new story arc. Maybe then I'll be able to finish this - just need a book starting with the letter "Y". I'll start cruising through Listopia soon.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! I had a 'Y' book TBR also and settled on an Amazon freebie I grabbed - Young's Smokeless Fire. It was a quick read and wasn't bad.

Oh, I love that series! I binged a re-read when SOS hosted the series in a couple years ago. I still have Allegiance of Honor TBR before Silver Silence.
