Good job, Ladies. Feel free to add your read books in our group bookshelf.
*Signing up will remain open throughout the whole month.*
P.S. A few changes in tracking our progress. Before, what we do is go back and edit our original list. However, as the thread gets longer and longer, I'm having difficulty wading through the discussion.
So, please, repost your official list with your progress after every update I make. That will really make my job easy, because I will just start from the last update to see where everybody is in their reading. Striking out the title and/or a finished date after the book's name will be best.
Next update will be February 16.

#2) Six White Horses by Janet Dailey
#3) Kiss Kiss Bang! Bang! The Unoffical James Bond 007 Film Companion by Alan Barnes
