[Jonetta]

Congrats, Dalene!

[Sharon]

Great job, Darlene!

[Sandra]

Excellent job, Dalene! And go for Champion Level! You've got this!!

[Michelle]

Well done Dalene.🎉🎉🎉👏👏
And mostly Nora or Robb books. That is so clever. And thank you. You just helped me with filling my Y's. Don't know how I missed that. I've been waiting for books that start with Y.

[Dalene]

Thank you everyone. I started off trying to only do Nora Roberts/ JD Robb books and was very surprised that she has limited books starting with "E" & "Y". And since most of my "S" books were read before I started the challenge; that's where I will go back to her books.

[Robin]

Impressive job, Dalene!

[Brenda]

Woohoo!! I've finished this challenge! Great fun - thanks to the organisers :)
