Awesome idea, this is the challenge for me! I have gotten a tad addicted to buying Kindle books, and have spent way too much money in the last several months. I'm setting a challenge for myself to only buy one new book for every five that I read, so this one will do nicely. I'm starting my list with my CR, since I just started it at lunch today. :)

Here we go:

1. Date Me, Baby, One More Time by Stephanie Rowe CR
2. Undead and Unemployed by MaryJanice Davidson
3. Seraphs by Faith Hunter
4. Shadow Game by Christine Feehan
5. The Face by Dean Koontz

Good luck, all!

Doing extremely well BJ considering how many books you have listed. You read an awful lot this month. Perhaps I didn't choose well since between my 4 books and 4 alternates I've only read 1 so far. lol

..."

I tried picking books I wanted to read that weren't necessarily on any future challenge lists. I also put down a friend's book that she wrote that she's been bugging me to read. However, I've not been reading that much and have had to stick close to the challenge books leaving me little room to read anything else.

[Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim)]

Well, the of the four I posted at the beginning of October, I did three. So one carry-over to November it is and three more to make the four. I don't know how many of these will get done as November is shaping up to be a VERY busy month.

1. Does She or Doesn't She? by Alisa Kwitney (my Oct carry-over)
2. Salty A Novel by Mark Haskell Smith
3. Dead as a Doornail by Charlaine Harris
