Just checking in. How's everyone doing with this challenge? It's been kind of quiet and the deadline's fast approaching.As for me, I'm 1/4. I read Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake and really liked it. I'm working on When Harry Met Molly. It's pretty funny! I hope the humor isn't short lived.

Woohoo! 4/4 - Done.1.
Original, funny read. I enjoyed seeing a full figured girl as the heroine.
2.
A lot of the scenes and dialogue was hilarious. Only problem was that the heroine kept bugging the heck out of me.
3.
Unique take on the Cinderella story. Was excrutiatingly slow and bland up until the last fourth of the book.
4.
Hilarious! These two friends turned lovers were a great pair. A sweet, endearing read.
