2012 A-Z Super Series Challenge
Congrats, Barbara! Awesome!Courtney - I won't give up, but I might change some series to ease my load!
I had to check out everyone's progress since we had a finisher. ECHO, Hina and Harley have all read 60+ books. Fabulous!I anticipate several more citizens to finish very soon.
Catherine, you are cracking me up with your "aargghh new books." That has happened to me several times. My library catalog is not up to date with GR, so I've had to add to the list. Aargghh!

..."Well, I thought I had two left, but I didn't have Last Breath on the list...
Right, as I was adding Last Breath to the Morganville Vampires series, I found another one "Black Dawn." How did I miss those last two? Aarrgh!EDIT: For anyone else reading this series, a new one is due out in November called Bitter Blood.

LOL, I've been actively NOT adding to it. Or trying desperately to only add a few after I've marked several off of there.
Courtney wrote: "LOL, I've been actively NOT adding to it.

It definitely didn't get shorter, the ratio to books finished vs. add to tbr is very skewed in my case.
