READ FROM Jan 3rd 2010 to March 21 2010 COMPLETE!!!
Damn!I have gotten sidetracked, sucked into an irresistable re-read of the Outlander series (which of course I can't put down, say it with me gals...Jamie Fraser, swoon!) and haven7t even read one book for this Challenge yet!
Its OK Gaijinmama =D Its surprising that it took me over a year to get these off the TBR shelf.
Great challenge, I guess the next one will up the ante to like 15? 20? hehe.
I don't even think I crossed out one or two. LOL

Hmmm...let me think about this.
