For some reason I remember numbers. However, I missed the Pit Bulls' names trivia question. **sigh**

I am sure this book does have a good story line to it and I have seen lots of good reviews about it. One day I will pick it back up and read it. I guess I was just in a bad mood that day and it caught me off guard LOL
Lol Robin I must not have been in the mood for it either because I'm not sure why it was winding me up so much.
I'm such a moody reader, I can totally understand that!
Susan, I updated you in Participant's Post #6.Talk about going around in a circle with what to read next from your TBR pile! LOL!

Thanks Lisa! I just can't follow my plans :-) However, I am so glad I picked What I Did For a Duke. It was one of the best books that I've read in a long time! So romantic, funny and the best hero and heroine! Usually you love one of them but here both were wonderful <3****************************************************************************

Jenny wrote: "Susanne, I loved that book too! I'm a fan of Julie Anne Long. Have you read others in the Pennyroyal Green series?"I've only read the first one, but I was rather disappointed in that one and it kind of scared me off the other ones although I'm also a fan of Julie. I loved her first book To Love a Thief which was much more like What I Did For a Duke (very lighthearted with a funny and majorly awesome heroine and hero). I also really liked The Runaway Duke, but then as I said I got a bit scared off by The Perils of Pleasure. Have you read the others in the Pennyroyal Green series?
Jenny wrote: "I've read all of them so far, I didn't love the first one either, but most of the other books have been fun. My two favorites are Like No Other Lover and How the Marquess Was Won. They both had mom..."Nice to know I wasn't the only one. I'll definitely bump those up on my reading list :-)
Neat, Jenny! Updated Participant Post #6 - 08/25/12 @ 1:48 p.m. Please let me know of any errors. Thanks!Read!

Just finished this month's read post 68 I read
and absolutely LOVED it! Cameron is on my list of book boyfriends. This is something I will reread :)
Good to know, Susan! I've been looking at that one. I updated you in Post #6 - 08/26/12 @6:14 a.m. Please let me know of any errors. Thanks.I also updated myself. I read another novella,
. I actually read it first last year and it has been calling me again. It was quick and short and one of my favs of 2011. What with the craziness in my house, I couldn't resist it!I also saw this, and thought it was too cute to pass up:
