August Challenge 2010
I can't wait to pick out my books for this one!
I'm in of course! I will start making my book list!
I'm in. I will probably post as I go, as I'm not sure which books will have traveling until I read them.
Ladies, I luv y'all, but I'm going to take the month off. Family time before school starts again. I'll see ya in September. Happy reading!
I am in and I have NO idea what books I'm going to pick out! LOL
Well, I'm in--no idea what I'll read, but I'm in.

Duration: August 1-31
1) Death’s Excellent Vacation by Charlaine Harris et. al. (a trip to Ireland in one story)
2) Beast Behaving Badly by Shelley Laurenston (went from NYC to Ursus Co. Maine)
3) The Night Before Christmas by Victoria Alexander et. al.
The last book has people in several of the stories traveling. So I figured it would work, even if it IS an anthology. And yeah, I DO love holiday anthologies, and celebrate "Christmas in July" with a spate of Christmas themed anthologies. Gotta get myself psyched up to get some presents made.

3) The Night Before Christmas by Victoria Alexander et. al.
4) Deeply, Desperately by Heather Webber
5) Summer of the Dragon by Elizabeth Peters
For those who like a little humour and mystery with their romance, my last book Summer of the Dragon has it all. And its set in Arizona, on a lovely ranch with lots of drool worthy males.
Er, forgot to mention that the "travel" part of it is that the heroine travels from Cleveland, OH to Arizona for the summer. She's a grad student in physical anthropology who is given a grant by a billionaire who wants a "bone" expert for a mysterious purpose.
