4. Double your pleasure, double your fun... Twin Temptation (6/2) and Twin Seduction (6/3) Because why have one book about twins when you can have matching books about twins?
9. If I read a book for a challenge I put it on the bookshelf. But I'm supposed to read a book that is on our bookshelf. By definition, even if it's not there when I start, by the time I post this would it not qualify? But this one was already there. Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris (6/6)
