I don't know if I'll finish this challenge. Between my cold, needing to finished my Continuing Ed Hours, and the fact that my library eliminated - with no warning - one of the audio sites for downloading books (getting rid of books I had planned for other challenges)... I may not get this one done. We'll see.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I'm sorry for all the issues you're going through, Lisa. I hope things get better.

Thank you BJ Rose! :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Alycia, I didn't congratulate you because you didn't put "Done" in your update.

You expect me to be a mind reader? Get with the program, girl! ;)

(BTW, Congrats!)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

BJ - I've been reading and reading and reading, but not updating! I got lazy and don't even want to list the books!
