Cool! I'm so glad it's helped you out! You've got some good books on your list I might have to add some of these.

Do you guys like the find me bonus? You know you can 'find' the WORD or the picture. It just has to be on the cover...:)

[Gabrielle Blaque/~Bhlack Benehvolence~]

I don't know about everyone else but I like it! Some of the items were a pain in the neck to find but it's still kind of fun!

[Sassafrass, aka Rho, reader of erotica]

I'm not really finding anything but it's a cool idea. If I end up having book that fits Iwill add it. Otherwise I am gonna just skip it. I'm doing a huge challenge (85 books in three months) in another group so if it doesn't fit in that challenge, I'm not reading it.

[Bridget]

I'm having fun with it, too--it's certainly a challenge, but I find myself looking at books that I would never try otherwise, which is pretty neat.

Yeah, that's sort of how it was for me.

This particular part of the challenge helped me to come across books and different authors that I'd never heard of before and I probably never would have found them if I hadn't done the challenge.

[Unapologetic_Bookaholic]

I am glad y'all find my challenge a challenge :) I do try and add a certain
Level of difficulty. When someone finishes at the end of the year with a kindle in sure it with be worth it!

Ditto :) this next challenge I really want to make an effort to read more!

[Ashia]

Ok, I only managed to finish 2 books in the super bonus category. Just had lots of things going on this month, and I'm still not done with Deep Disclosure! I had relatives come to visit for 3 weeks (one more next week), and seriously, that really ruined the rhythm of my life! LOL Just joking. The visiting was fun. :)

[Unapologetic_Bookaholic]

Well next challenge is two months! Play catch-up :)
