Yea Barbara!

I guess I have also finished the challenge but since it is only May, I am going to try to fill all the spaces.

Congratulations, Barbara.   Looks like Bruce is done too.

Pamela, congratulations to you too!   I am going to do the same as you, I have one more book to go for the challenge, then will work on others just to fill it in.

Just finished a challenge read - Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen.  This was a wonderful book, so engrossing I could'nt put it down!!  It was a paranormal book, but not in the usual sense.  The witchcraft was quiet and subtle, kind of like the movie with Sandra Bullock Practical Magic.  I really enjoyed it and will be posting one of my copies soon.  Somehow I wanted to read it so much that I ended up with two copies.

How's everyone doing?  Updated your lists lately?

Done!! 

Updated my list and I finished the challenge.  May read a couple of others I had planned later in the year, but I will be working on the mystery challenge for a bit.
