Looking great, Angie!

Thanks Lisa Kay!

Can I ask for a little help? I'm confused with my challenge as the number of books in this thread isn't the same as the number of books on my 2013 shelf. I just went through all three levels of this challenge and compared books with my shelf and I can't find where I went wrong.

Would someone be so kind and check the numbers in this post to see if I didn't make a mistake with them? I looked at them but maybe I'm just getting crazy and can't see something that's obvious to someone else.

Thanks :)

Gea, on this list I only found where you missed listing one book.

Between
268 Beautiful Mess and 269 Nine Rules to Break when Romancing a Rake. you missed the book If Only by Cherise Sinclair on this list.

This would bring your numbering up to 289 books read.

Thanks a lot Melissa, that was the book I was missing. When counting the books from entire year I went sloppy in the last month :/

Thanks again for the help :)

Gea, you are missing another book on Level 1 of the Serious Readers Challenge for 2013.

The book missing is: Desire for Three by Leah Brooke and should be between no's. 66 and 67. Your 2013 Reading Challenge says that you have read a total of 290 books. This missing book brings your total up to 290.

I actually know about that one, but it was so short that it doesn't count as a book for me lol

Can I ask how you got through my books so quickly? (for my possible future problems)

:D I took and copied your lists and pasted them into notepad. I then copied and went through the list comparing them to your reading challenge list. :D
