Welcome to the A ~ Z Reading Challenge, Jaime! Glad you joined us in the fun. Happy reading and linking! 🙂
It’s me again. This time I don’t have good news. When I was checking out your links, I found at least 7 books that were used for both author and title. The challenge rules are that you can only use a book once, therefore totaling 52 individual books. That’s not all that bad. The bad part is that I had to delete all your links. 🙁 I’m so sorry. I know how much time it takes to link them, but it would be too difficult to figure out which ones to keep and which ones to remove. It would be great if you could fix your list and relink. I’m sorry this is causing you so much more work, but we’d love to see all you’re reading. I hope you will relink.
That sounds like a lot of fun. I’ll have to see how I stack up thus far.
