Congrats, Kenjii! I just can't get into any "spring" titles I've started. Hoping to find one and actually finish it before the end of this challenge. :)

Anyone read PC Cast's Goddess series? I have picked book #2, Goddess of Spring, to try next. But, I haven't read book #1. Anyone know if they should be read in order?

Hey Steph... I read Goddess of Spring for this challenge and I think it was pretty good, it's waaaaay better than the first one and don't worry, they're not related... not really.

I just read my review and remembered a little more about it, it starts a little slow but hold on until chapter 8, that's where it get's really good.

Happy reading!

[Steph]

Thanks, Lili! I think I'm going to have to dive it b/c I haven't found another "Spring" title I'm interested in. Glad they're not related b/c I don't wanna take the time to read 1 just to read 2. Can you say LAAAAAZEEEE!?! LOL!

Chapter 8, huh? Ugh, ok, since you said it gets really good after that, I'll stick with it. :)

[Sandra]

Hooray, Lili!
