Thank you!! I got carried away!!! In the beginning, most of the books I picked because I wanted to read. Then it got a bit "forced." I'm not sure I'll do that again...but it was fun. J is difficult. And of course that pesky Z. Orphan X is a great X book. The Pop Sugar Challenge is a bit more difficult. And the bingo challenge. Thanks again for your sweet note.

I might have wrote something wrong or you might have wanted to read 10 at first? I'm not sure. There's a lot of people to add in the beginning of the year so there's probably some mistakes xD
Everything fixed (hopefully). Let me know if there are other mistakes :)
Edited # 67478 of 78!!!
Three times through the alphabet. It was a lot of fun.
