I am doing poorly so I am determined to get in a few of these books.

I need to join this challenge... better late than never, right? I've been busy re-listening to the Percy Jackson series lately, but I'm on the last book, then I can get started here! I did manage to find a little anthology (The Demigod Diaries) that goes along with it that I hadn't listened to before though, and one of the couples goes on a date at the end of one of the stories, so I'm counting it as a romance! ;)

Keep trying.

I finished a book (and thus series)!!! I mean, it was one I forgot to put on the list in the first place, so I had to add it, but I've had a copy on my shelf since the day it came out just over 4 years ago, so I'm pretty proud of myself for finishing that one. Lol....

I've loaded almost everything I can onto my mp3 player. We'll see what I'm in the mood to read next!

Congrats, Sara! Those are the best kinds of completions.
