ReplyDeletei love mysteries too! i wish your blog had a mail subscription to it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun challenge! Hope you enjoy it. I've offically finished all my challenges for this year (with two months to spare ) so plan just to read. I'll start them again in Jan.
ReplyDeleteI loved all the Stephanie Plum books!
Sheila - That's what I thought!
ReplyDeleteHODGEPODGESPV - Just tell me how, and I'll set it up.
Sharon - I've got one more Plum book, and I'll be caught up on that. One more for the YA, one SS for the Sookie challenge - lol. Not quite there, but close. So I felt teh need to find another. =)
(Of course I haven't finished with the 2010 Countdown Challenge, but one isn't enough).

ReplyDeleteGFDesignz (Jen) - I clicked on one of the blog posts of someone already signed up, just to get an idea of how other people were setting it up. It just happened to be yours - though I didn't know that 'til just now.
ReplyDeleteHowdy there,
