Hey, does anyone know if rereads are allowed?

LethalLovely~I Am Yours If You Are Mine wrote: "Hey, does anyone know if rereads are allowed?"

They are. If you check the FAQ, rereads are fine unless the challenge specifically states that they aren't - and this one doesn't!

Thanks, chica! I've been having a hard time finding a book for the "Time-travel Romance" category & I was like, wait! I own all of KMM's "Highlander" series. Oh yeah.

Ok, so I'm a little late joining in the challenge. But, here I go anyway.
