Congratulations on completing it so quickly.
Great job! I completed the easier version with only reading 3 books. But, I am continuing to read more that would qualify...
I was just thinking about this challenge last night. I'm loving it.
I just started Secret Daughter last night. Man, it drew me RIGHT in. I have a feeling that this day is going to be lost in the pages.
This is my 5th, which was my goal, but I also said that I hoped to up it to 7 or 10, which I will do, because there are others I definitely want to read.
(I think you know this, but I am the same Jennifer that's at 5 Minutes for Books -- look forward to meeting you soon!)
Congrats on completing it. I added Secret Daughter to my TBR list from your great review/recommendation.
Great job! I love the feeling of completely a challenge.
Thank you for the list! I've just read three of them and would love to see what the others are about.
I went back to re-read some of your reviews and found them wonderful. Atlas of Unknowns and Secret Daughter were two books I needed to know a little something more and you provided it beautifully. Thanks
