Oh, I see, thanks Dragona! You have to be on the computer, not the ipad. I was thinking I could have this challenge finished by year-end, since I only need three more. But I just realized that 4 of my books are not romance, in fact, they're not even fiction. Trying to get seven books in before year-end is probably more than I can do!

Your books do not have to be romance or fiction to count. Non-fiction is acceptable too, if you read the whole book. All books count.
I hope this will help you to finish the challenge. :)
