Great job on finishing! I am going to come up a few books short - but at least I read some titles I probably wouldn't have read!

Desert Rose, I don't agree with the some of the awards. I think it depends on the books and if it's to your own taste. I have read some I really liked and some, not so much.
Kaye, Thanks! I am in many challenges and am still working on them. I haven't decided yet if I will join the next up-coming awards challenge again or not.
Kristi, thanks, nothing like cutting it too close. I just barely made it myself. Do you think you'll be joining the next one?
Thanks Kailana!
