I've seen this around before, too. Does your group do it as a quarterly challenge?

[Lynxie]

I believe this is the first challenge my other group has done.

Well I finished my challenge and read some really good books. Hope everyone is doing well, good luck and happy reading.

[Gabriela]

Question how do we cross out a book and post a review. Sorry new to this.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Go to the post you want to edit and click on "edit" right underneath it.

To cross out, <.s> put whatever you want crossed out between these<./s>, except take out the periods.

You can find more HTML codes right at the top of the comment box where it says "some html is ok." Just click on that for the different codes.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

You don't have to post reviews, but if you want to just go to the page you wrote your review on, copy the URL, and paste it in your post here.

[Janina]

I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish this challenge this month guys. Just started new Sememster of College, so Its going to be hard...

Do Succubus count as Vamp because if so I want to change my vamp book ??

[Sheri, Bookworm]

We're making the rules, so sure. I think succubus could count as vamps (since they feed off a person's life force) or demons (since that's what they are typically associated with).

Yay! Because I've been really wanting to read Succubus Blues! :) Thanks.

2. Fae/Faeries - Shadow Blood by Bonnie Lamer (loved it!!!)

I know! I have another challenge where we were supposed to read 10 books, and I've read 10, but not in the right categories :)
