ErinsAlterEgo | 32 comments I love the categories, but I think I am only going to shoot for 5 this month, and if I can squeak any others in, I'll change it as I go:

3 out of 5 Completed

2. Birthday: Since LindyLane's profile is set to private, I went for Ladykati and picked Halfway to the Grave. Looks interesting!

9. Pets Are Wonderful month: I already own this one, so I might as well read it. Sight Hound


5. The Royal Wedding: If I can get the last of the Bride Quartet book by Nora Roberts, then I'll do that one. But seeing as how I'm still pretty far down on the waiting list at the library, I'll probably do this one by Julie Garwood: The Wedding


X 8. Taxes are due in US (15 April): Borrowed from the library (this is kind of cheating, since most the books I get for the list are from there, but hey, you made the rules) - Sex, Lies and Vampires by Katie MacAlister. One of my favorite ever authors.


X 10. Reader's Choice: Yay! The library had River Marked by Patricia Briggs!!! Totally my Reader's Choice for this month!
