I'm surprised, because December is a very busy month for most people. Anyway, nice going! Woohoo!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

That's what I was thinking, too! Maybe the weather is bad and people are staying in more?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Today's the last day of this challenge, ladies!!! Be sure to finish up what you're reading.

And thank you to everyone who participated!! We had an excellent reading month!

No, not really. All the guys were so different that it was hard to get them mixed up! Although, I did mix up Kade's and Kane's names for a little while, LOL

[Dina]

That's why Kane changed his name to Buck, LOL.

[Leah]

I know. And I fucking hated that. It drove me up the wall whenever they called him Buck! LOL
