Oh, I'm definately in! And I will have my J done for 2013's challenge by 12/31/13! I found my J and plan to read it by New Year's Eve at midnight. I actually just read as usual in 2013 and didn't look for my needed letters and managed 25 out of 26. Not bad at all! 2014, maybe I'll get my harder letters out of the way first. Or not. ;-)

And you were so close, David!

LOL I know, but I don't think I was committed enough ;)

No worries, you had other things that were a higher priority I think! ;)

David wrote: "I failed this one for 2013 LOL! But I'll try again :)"

well, I am not sure if I can do this as well, but let's try together?

Haha my friend forced me to read that book aloud one day when I was upset and it was so fluffy and cheesy that I felt a lot better. It's not a book I'd normally pick up, but truth be told, now I'm very fond of it :)

I don't tend to read YA contemporary/romance fiction and if I do I tend to be pickier about it than most genres but I'm only 16 pages in and already enjoying it. :)
