I loved Soulless! I know its not for everybody, but I'd like to know what you think when you're done. I have Changeless, book 2 in the series. I just haven't read it yet b/c I've heard that it has a cliffhanger ending; so I'm waiting until closer to September when the 3rd book is released.
I also liked Undead and Unwed a lot too.
As usual, I'll post as I go along.

I have a couple of questions. Can you carry a book over from the previous month? Would Claire Randall from Outlander qualify as a strong lead?

Would Claire Randall from Outlander qualify as a strong lead?"For your first question, "technically" no, books should be read from the first day of the month to the last day of the same month. But, we do not check up on what you decide to do. However, I don't believe a few days prior to the start of the month is a big deal. Claire? Travels back and forth through time, is married to two men AND a nurse. That sounds like a strong heroine to me!

Thanks Megan! Count me in. I'll be more than happy to restart the book. I haven't gotten that far anyway.

I'm happy to help! We are an easy-going group! If you are not that far in I wouldn't re-start the book, but that's just me! :o) Enjoy July's Challenge!
