[Jayne]

Managed to finish the challenge last night. I'm quite surprised I finished the first challenge I joined in with! Congrats to everyone else who's finished already. *goes to edit her original post*

@Michelle, what are the Georgina Kincaid books like? I've only ever read Richelle Mead's "Dark Swan" series, and I'm wondering whether to take a look at her other works.

look at them. ive read at least the first book in all of her series and they are well worth the read. and mead's books have not disappointed me yet. all of her series r good. vampire academy is my favorite(read 1-4) and succubus would have to be my second favorite and dark swan my third

[is mee... kissa]

@Jayne
yeah.. you should definitely take a look at her other works.. the Dark Swan series is great but so are Vampire Academy and the Georgina Kincaid (Succubus) series... that's all her series and they are well worth the read.. all her works are amazing.. plus, Vampire Academy and the Georgina Kincaid series are coming to their final books.. VA's last book comes out this December and the Succubus one comes out in September next year i think, so the wait isn't that long either if you really enjoy the series

I'm done Jen, you can add me to the complete list!

[GinBee, Founder & Mod]

Congratulations to everyone who's completed the challenge!! My list's updated now!

Don't think I'm going to make it on my challenge though :(

[Angela]

Thanks Jen. Maybe you'll make the challenge if we leave you alone for awhile. or maybe you could get an extension ;)

I might make the challenge if I didn't work full time, study for my second degree part time, run my blog, and look after my nephew two evenings per week (he's 3 weeks old!)!!!!!!

It's a wonder I manage 1 or 2 books per week!!

Yeah, I'm going to give myself an extension, but then I'll get behind on November's challenge :(

I like running this group and would not swap it, I like that people actually get involved etc!!!

[Angela]

I can understand that. My life was super busy before I got sick. Now I have all day to read and sleep. I would give anything to have those busy days back and hopefully I will someday.

Good luck on your reading.

[Rochelle]

Hi, everyone. I'm Rochelle, and I'm from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'll be 27 this coming Halloween.

I love PNR books. I'm currently reading "Dead Reckoning" by Charlaine Harris. I also love YA books, thrillers, etc.

I'm here basically to get an idea of good books to read and to belong to an online book club.
