I am having problems fitting one into my October challenges, I have two other books to read this week too! And my kids are home, which cuts into reading time. I still have a week, I'm not out yet.

Thank you!
Way too much going on in personal life at the moment- Cold/Flu is making its way from me to hubby to my son, and back around and around. Haven't been feeling much into reading, hoping to pick this challenge back up when I feel a bit more myself.

[Dana]

Ah! The flu is the worst. =[ Hope you (all) feel better soon.

I really liked this challenge. It forced me to take on new authors and I am now hooked on a few. I actually read from 10 new authors I would like to read from again, only managed the 5 in the 3 month time frame.

I am definitely going to do this for the next 3 months.

[Dana]

I've been thinking of doing this one again myself. Oh no, guess I'll have to find some more books to read! =D

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

The hardest part was once I discovered a new author I couldn't stop. I read 8 books from Kerrelyn Sparks.
