Linda Boyd (boydlinda95gmailcom) I like your list Christina, I will have some of the same authors that you have - different books though. And I also have a hard time with lists - which is one of the reasons why mine is still not posted.....

Glenda (lene18) | 21 comments I started reading Say You're One of Them, but it just did not hold my attention, so I didn't finish it. I think I'm going to replace it on my list with a Blair Underwood book. I may give it another try in the future, we'll see.

Glenda (lene18) | 21 comments I am having to make a change to my list. I was unable to get The Apostles by Y. Blak Moore, so my new "Y" is Soul Matters by Yolonda Tonette Sanders.

Glenda (lene18) | 21 comments Done!!!!

Wow!! I am really patting myself on the back right now for finishing this challenge. It was a great one to be a part of. I was introduced to so many new authors that I will continue to follow.
