Sandy, for some of us, it is a good thing it's not a math challenge!
Well done, Lusie!I'm still one behind as I'm reading Kingdom of Ash (980 pages). Its going to take me a while :)

LOL. Congrats, Lusie!!
Thank you!lol yes, it's a relief it's not a math challenge! I think it went wrong because I changed some of the books and did not do a final count.
Lauren, you can do it! Kingdom of Ash is very good and so hard to put down!
