I just saw your thread and noticed I chose the same thing. Are you a Buffy fan?I'm going to change mine so it's a little different.
Great minds think alike. :) I've never watched the show although I'd like to one of these days. It was just the only thing I could come up with at the time. Please, don't change yours on my account, it's all good.
Mine's still related to Buffy. Pivot network was recently added to my cable lineup, and I've been re-watching episodes. You should watch some episodes and see who you're representing :D Buffy's one kick ass character!

Glad to hear she's a kick ass character, I need all the help I can get for this challenge, lol.

One book levels are so satisfying, aren't they?
Definitely! I really like the one shot and done, but I'm afraid I'm running out of those. Probably have to go on a rampage soon, lol

I read this one for the ABC challenge. It was okay, but I have not looked at any of the others. I do not even think I have the series on my list. hmmm.

I felt that way too, Cherie, and was torn between 2 or 3 stars. I ended up giving it 3 but I still think I might change that. I did add the series, cause I did enjoy reading about an ancient civilization and would like to read about others since that's something lacking in my wheelhouse. Time will tell if I get anywhere with the series.
