Wren there is problem with your book. It's not appearing in the spreadsheet. I checked and it seems you added two editions by mistake. One editions is added to the shelf, and the other one has read date set.
Can you let us know when you fix it, so we can use your book for goal? :)

Holiday Naughty: My Alpha Bad Boy Client

Works for days of TT naughty or nice in title goal.

FYI - this was the worst thing I've read all year. Thank god it was really short (124 pages, so just long enough to count). I wasn't expecting it to be all that good, but I was thinking it would be at least okay. And I grabbed it because it was a freebie and fit the challenge goal. It was FREE and I feel robbed. It was that bad.

I feel your pain Judith. I'm a Kindle freebies addict - can't help downloading them. And the worst part is, a lot of them feel like they should pay you something for the time wasted reading them. :/

My kid got sick (damn flu season). Sorry for not helping more, but it's hard doing anything when he won't leave my lap. I can read with one hand though (ereaders rock).
