PNR November 2011 Reading ChallengeRead: 10/10 Done!
LOL! If I knew I could also list nonPNR books, it would have been a little easier! I like how everyone lists the books they are reading on here. This was a good spot to come & check out what others are reading currently. It also reminded me to go read new books in series that I devoured earlier this year. =)
Had to change some of my selections around. I started new series and then got distracted and continued to read the series instead of moving on to the next book on my original list lol.9/10 Read
