Welcome to the challenge Suzanne!
OK - I have a question. I'm new to this group, but am a member at PaperBackSwap. I found this challenge (or a very similar one) over there and have already been tracking what I've read all year.Can I join in, use the books I've read this year, and have a start date of 1-1-11?????
Hi, Cindy! Welcome to the group! I'm guessing that'd be okay, but if you wouldn't mind waiting for Laura to answer. She's the
That's cool with me--I'm always a fan of backdating when you find a new challenge that's already in full swing. :)Welcome Cindy!
Thanks Laura! I was gonna do it anyway, it's just easier if I can keep going.....I SPY Title Challenge

Yay! Welcome, Zina :)
Thanks Steph... I think I figured it out....but not sure if I have more than 3 non para's....specifically Blaze, The Thirteenth Tale, Salems Falls and The Glass Castle......I wasnt sure if The Thirteenth Tale was classified as fantasy....
Zina, I don't think The Thirteenth Tale is fantasy--more of a historical, gothic, mystery/suspense/thriller. But I haven't read it, and 49 people have it shelved as "fantasy", so maybe there's more to it than what's in the synopsis. So I say you're good to go. :)
Oh thanks Laura...I'll run with it for now.....If I find another I can always change it out.....

Thanks, guys! :)Sandra, I'll be interested to hear how you like that one (Death, the vamp....).
Yep, I saw you'd read it, but I don't remember what you thought of it. LOL.Lexxie is an Aussie, I'll have to be kind. LOL
It's set in Australia too, which I really liked. Bondi :) The only thing that bugged me was the repetition of "Australian life-guard" ... got it, he's an Australian life-guard. LOL! It was funny and sexy. You're sure to enjoy it. :)
GTK, thanks Steph. I hate when something inconsequential gets repeated and repeated. Did it remind you of the tv show? LOL
Awesome job Steph!It does your organized little soul good...Completed? Check@ Sandra: One more and you are done! Oh no, you're gonna need another challenge! ;)

Don't worry Dana, I've still got plenty. Especially as this one is nearly 12 months old. Time to be finished :)
Sandra wrote: "GTK, thanks Steph. I hate when something inconsequential gets repeated and repeated. Did it remind you of the tv show? LOL"It did actually. The opening scene, I could really picture it after having watched the show. :D
Thanks, Dana & Laura :)
It's always nice to scratch yearlies off the to-complete list.
A little late, but, YAY, Steph!
