One last one for November that I finished last night. I swapped Hunting Prince Dracula (Stalking Jack the Ripper, #2) by Kerri Maniscalco for Much Ado About You (Essex Sisters, #1) by Eloisa James because Dracula hasn't come into the library yet. Much Ado has four sisters as MCs and one is 15 and still in the school room. So it counts! :)

And I may or may not finish Listen to Me (Fusion, #1) by Kristen Proby tonight as well... Good gravy this one is good!
