Uhmmm.... maybe I should start planning which books to read...
Lol. I keep saying the same thing to myself Sonia. But then I say...I have a while to think about it ;-)
I have this planned and will hopefully post here soon. I also added this to my own challenge folder so it is easier to find!
As I was looking through books I saw that there is a Goodreads Giveaway for a copy of One Breath Away (nominee in the Mystery and Thriller Category)Link here: http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/ent...
Jex wrote: "Lol. I keep saying the same thing to myself Sonia. But then I say...I have a while to think about it ;-)"Yep, that's true... which can be a problem too, I started to read Gunmetal Magic before realizing it was one of the nominees... but now I'm so engrossed with it that is humanly impossible to stop and wait two weeks to make it count.
*sigh*
I guess I'll have to catch up on another series to make for it
I'm in for the hard level. I'll post the books as I go.
Yay! I'm in... This is my first challenge with ya'll so I'm making it easy on myself. (plus this way I can join other challenges lol!)Level- Easy♥

Kristin wrote: "Since I am new to this whole challenge thing can you explain the process of updating books I've completed reading. Do I edit my post with the list or some other way?"Go ahead and update your original post with the books you've finished. Then if you want you can do a new post to say you've updated so that everyone sees. That first post is the one that's linked in the participants thread though, so that's where people will look if they are looking at everyone's list. Whenever I do an update I usually post something like
Just updated: Post #12
But you can do it however you feel most comfortable!
Here's a reference to how to Make a Link and you get the post link by clicking on the time stamp on your post and then copying the link in your browser. I hope that helps.
Ooo yay. I was looking for that and couldn't find it. Thanks LK!
