This is probably the hardest challenge I've faced in a while especially since I'm going for all of the criteria.

But you're almost halfway through, Adriana!! You do know it's a year long challenge?! :-P
You've got over 10.5 months to get through 15 books! You're smashing it!
Meanwhile, I've completed 3/25 with:
1. Color - Wild Lavender by Belinda Alexandra - 4 stars
5. First Name - Helena by Jo-Anne Berthelsen - 3 stars
17. Elements - Death by Water by Kerry Greenwood - 3 stars
Oh, and Cassandra, I'm Kathryn from Australia :-)

Caro, I think that works. Sometimes in English we say that you "have a vendetta against someone" which is more of an emotion than an action.
Adriana, this challenge definitely requires more thought to find books that fit, but you're off to a great start! I'm sure you'll fit them all in before the end of the year. :)

Thanks a lot Cassandra! In spanish it can also be used in both cases, that is why I was having my doubts....
