Am I too late to jump in to this annual challenge as well? I've just realised I've read a few obscure letters already so far this year as long as it's ok if there's some crossover with my follow the clues challenge?

Hi Phrynne, i have got confused yet again as I have two posts on this, 102 & 137. I’ve just spent a while editing post 102 as I thought I had’t put it all in properly, then found the other one with all the books in it, but not following correct instructions about the first letter of the title. Some were right, some not. Which one should I stick with? Sorry to be so ditzy.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Stick with 102 Amanda. Delete 137. I will link message 102 to your name:)
