Congratulations, Danielle!!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Thanks, BJ. I had already picked titles for the All Things Summer Challenge that were separate. But it worked out well. I have read a lot of books that have been languishing on my tbr pile for years. Thanks for the encouragement by suggesting these challenges, Dhestiny!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

You're welcome, Danielle! I'm happy people are enjoying them. The Build Your Own Challenge was designed to help people either try new authors, read books already on their TBR, etc... I'm hoping that one will be a big success!
