Duration: March 20 - June 20


P = The Device, Patrick Shelton 4/8
R = ROOM, Emma Donoghue 4/3
I = If You Knew Suzy, 3/26
M = Shattered: A Daughters Regret, Melody Carlson
A = Taliban Love, Aabra 4/12

Bonus: Swinging on A Star, Janice Thompson 4/11
The whole family is very italian and they use lots of Italian quotes. Grandma Rossi even has her own Italian cooking show in this novel.

I had to make a few changes to my reading list because I couldn't afford to buy all the new ones. Luckily, I had my Kindle replaced (mine had died...sniffle) and my reading list on there is extensive so I'm happy now. I hope it's OK I had to swap a few.

[Hayley]

Congrats Judithe & Fran!

Robin, you can swap as many as you like, no problem. Very few challenges don't let you change books and if so they are always listed in the rules in the #1 post.
