Mamacita for this challenge the series all need to be historical romance. That may have accidentally been left out of the rules listed in post #1, but it is the Historical Romance Book Club and that's my understanding of this challenge.

Agree that is the intent since it's historical romance book club, and that's where discussion will be most fruitful. However, Mamacita, I think it'd be ok to track your progress to your other series here since you've put them all down!
