I joined another reading challenge!!! Since I failed miserably at the last one..... well, life kind of threw me a curve ball there and the last thing I wanted to be doing was reading some serious literature. The best I could muster was a cheesy romance or two!! Lucky for me, the host of this challenge decided to do another, and this one is only TEN books instead of TWELVE.
