Books for this task need to be initially published in sequential years, for example 2011-2012-2013-2014-2015. Teams decide which years to use. Please include the selected years in your completion posts along with which year your book was published. Remember to use the initial publication date. If there is a date listed at the top of the editions page use it, otherwise I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition regardless of format for the qualification.
I want to read Crown of Midnight which is published in 2013. If you both are ok, we can manage around this...

I think I've only heard of 1 or 2 of these. lol. So, I'll be branching out with this one. I'll have to look through and see what's most appealing. I'm so picky.EDIT: I knew I'd have a hard time picking someone, as I don't actually usually read novels like this. LOL. Buuuut I picked one.
The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley.
Because at least I love a Scottish man. LOL
That is an all time favorite of mine!!!! Hope you like it :)
I'll definitely let you know what I think. xD

I am quite busy this weekend so I won't be able to start a new book until Sunday night/Monday. Sorry guys.
