Wow! Wtg! =)

Congrats :)

What were your favorites and the ones you absolutely won't recommend?

Congratulations, what an achievement! Are you trying to complete other challenges until the end of the year?

awesome, congratulations!

Congratulations!! Great book selection.

Thanks, everyone!

I loved The Moor's Account, The Invention of Wings, The Japanese Lover, and Tarzan (historical fiction and a couple of my favorite authors!).

I read the Danielle Steel Book and Magpies only because they were selections from a swap and a book club I am in and I found categories for them. They were both painful.
