Hey FlibBityFLooB , you are doing this challenge too? I could've read your recommendation (One for the Money) for this challenge. But I heard Ilona Andrew is a great author, so I stuck with my original choice, On the Edge. Oh man, am I glad, the book was fantastic! There was romance, action, humor and heart warming emotions. What other challenges are you doing besides this one and the Pick It for Me challenge?
