Denise (kitsune816) | 516 comments Anne Bishop is fantastic. I really want to get to Marked in Flesh (The Others, #4) by Anne Bishop this month. I got it a few weeks ago, but other challenges keep getting in the way! :(

I really like the Black Jewels books as well, though I've only read maybe the first four in that series. Another series that I need to get back to...


message 312: by Ora (new)

Ora (oeamis) It seems to happen quite a bit with me and challenges. I really hope I can get the third book before the end of the month.

With getting distracted with another challenge I am almost done with a book that will work for 7 blue
