Four book series = 40 pts
Five book series = 50 pts

Brilliant, I'll finish my January challenge book and get started then! Thank you :-)

Good luck!

I love the name you've given your thread! I've included it in the easy access thread.

I have Dreaming the Eagle as well. It's been sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust for years. If you want to do a buddy read, give me a holler.

Good one, Stacy!

Thank you all :-)
