Lisa Kay wrote: "**chuckles** Welcome to the challenge, Catherine!"think I'll spell out something:)
does the mystery/crime thriller have to be about a policeman? or can it b e about FBI/CIA agent?
Since I am a libra I feel responsible too. Not trying to get out of reading books....trust me that's not where my heart lies.... but some of our autumn books fit this category too. Do you want them separate or can someone use the same twice?
Hi Lisa,I think I can do 10.
Thanks :o)
