Tegan thanks for noticing that, I don't know what was going on...it was there in the html but not showing up in the post! I had to move the ! for it to show up =/ (I have a feeling this challenge is going to be really easy to host for the first month!lol But this is how it was at RIME too, and now look at the challenges!)

Okay people (if we get anyone to join in beside Tegan!lol) I have posted my list in message 5 if you would like an example. Tegan's list is message 11 and is another way you can make your list! Hope we get at least a few more to join in!



The dog part, I'm rereading Susan Elizabeth Phillips

For the S, I picked up Susan Wiggs

And for cover with a beach scene I have Sherryl Woods

And I guess Susan Mallery's

Let me know if I did this right, I'm still learning!
