I went on a bit of a binge and read a lot of hers last month. I think I've only got 3 or 4 left to read, then I've caught up. Definitely worth reading Lara :)

Congrats, LastBreath!

Yea LastBreath!

Hooray, Danielle & LastBreath!!

Sigh, I'm almost done. I just need a good U book (or story). I have some, but am caught up in reading the In Death series all of a sudden.

@Lara - U is also my last letter for the month. I've got two books that I'm considering but I'm too invested in reading The Reapers MC to even consider taking on anything outside it.

I decided to start The Untamed MacKenzie for my U. It is fairly short and I've read most of the books up to this one in the series.

I was thinking of changing my "U" to a shorty, too.

Still plugging away. I might change my "U" book, though.

Congratulations Lara! I think I might follow suit with your "U" title as well

Thanks! It was a good length and the story flew by. Not too many subplots flying around this time.

Congrats, Lara! Woowee!

Guess what - I'm 100% completed! I logged 'HALLO' last week, now I'm doing 'TSCHUSS'

Yea LastBreath!

Congrats, LastBreath!

Thank you very much ladies (^_^)

Y'all I have two more books to go. Two! One is on loan and won't be returned till tomorrow and the other is so slow I started reading another to see if it was better. No luck. I've already DNF'ed two others this month.
Note to self: books beginning with the letter H and S seem to suck. Lol
I should be done by Friday though.

**chuckles**

@Roxy do I know what you mean about the H & S titles! I combed through the books I read this month and discovered a heroine & Hero (different books, same series) fulfilled the requirement. That's if you wanna try it that way. Good luck xoxo

Hooray Lara & LastBreath!!
