Congratulations Nat! Well done:)


message 214: by MichelleG (new)

MichelleG (michellegreiss) | 1186 comments Well I only managed half of my 4th book for this challenge :(. I gave it a good go, but reading the secret chord for the annual challenge proved to be too much of a temptation and as a result I didn't quite pull it all off (timing wise).

I'll keep reading and finish it though, as I hate unfinished books.
