Yay!! Now I won't be so lonesome. :DBTW - I pre-ordered Tempest's Legacy a week or so ago and they emailed earlier this week saying it was being delivered! Now, I just have to get #1-2. #3 might get here first. Weird.
There I just did my first Update! I'm slowly picking my way through this list :D
:) Me too. I'm doin' a bit better w/my "One Till Done" vs. my "Double Shot". But, we'll get there. :) Fun catching up on series, yah? Feels like such an accomplishment to have read up to the latest release - at least for me.
I second that, It does feel pretty good when you can check one more book of the list :D
Oh...just found this! Sometimes I'm a little slow...I've been "doing" this, just not nicely posted as a challenge...so, I'll just pop over and join you!
List coming tomorrow! Now I finally have the time to finish Pale Demon!!!!!!
YAY! Looking forward to it. Hope you enjoy PD. :D
Finally getting the list posted!SOS: One Shot

And, just for fun, I've added a second series-to-finish in 2011 ( "Double Shot" ) for those that have more than one release in 2011. Once I've read those 2 books, I'll be caught up until their 2012+ release(s).
