Go, Joann! Over 1/2 way thru :)
Had a few minutes, so I updated my post with the month read for each book, and a star rating. Sorry, don't know the exact day of the month......Still at 19 of 24 finished, but several of the entries have more than 1 book that qualifies! I'm reading
now for the "Something to Read" category. Well, and the Hot Summer Days weekly read. And whatever other challenges I can manage to fit it into......
Oh thanks for the Hot Days reminder. Gotta pick my book for this week!

Question......would Bullets work for metal????? They are made of metal. SIGH.....if not I'll just HAVE to finish The Girl in the Steel Corset
Lol! It's not things made of metal...Don't feel bad, this challenge was my brainchild and I only have three days left on mine and I still need to read one more book. It was a doozy :)
That's kinda what I thought you would say.....just 5 more to go, but I've got till the end of the year! :PI'll either slog my way thru the rest of Steel Corset or find something else in this Mountain Range I call a TBR.
When does yours end, Cindy? Have you read The Iron Duke? If so, could you hold out until Nov for Heart of Steel (Iron Seas #2)?Here are some other suggestions: (not sure what you've read)
And a few more...

Thanks Steph & Sophie :)
Thanks Laura ;)
Hip hip hooray for Sandra!!!!Steph - thanks for the recommendations. I actually do have several "iron" books already in my TBR. I have till the end of the year, so I'm fairly certain I can work one of those in before then!!!
Actually - I think it's gonna be The Iron King. I still need Family Member and Royal Title, so if I read the whole trilogy (and I already have all of them) that works for everything! YAY!!! That would just leave me with Body of Water and 4
I'm off work the next 2 weeks. Part of the plan is to get my bookshelves here AND at home organized. Besides, I have a copy of Into the Lair somewhere around here that I need to read and mail out soon. Must find it!!!
Found my Body of Water - Bayou Moon. It will work for the 2nd in a series challenge you just posted (and I was silly enough to sign up for).
Not silly at all Cindy, being series addicts it shouldn't be hard to read a #2 book each month :)And thanks ;)
I've read lots of new authors and 1st of series this year. Not so many 2nd and after. Yep....I'm addicted!
Join the club! Oh, wait, you did! >;)

Do y'all think frost counts as a Form of water? I'll assume it is ok until told otherwise. :-)
Hi, Crystal. I'll let Laura Lulu, mastermind behind this bad boy, answer that one.
Yep, frost is definitely a form of water. :)
Hooray, LLL!
Muchas Gracias, senorita bonita. ;)
