Lisa Kay wrote: "Nicola! QUESTION: For the birthday category, can we read one of the books in the series that the birthday person has read? I'm a little ahead of them. Or does it have to be that exact book?"Sorry Lisa Kay - I haven't checked this in a while. I assume you can read one in the series - is that not how the birthday challenge usually works?
I say go for it!
Susan wrote: "For #6 - is it acceptable that the heroine has a set of twins, or does one of the main characters have to be a twin?"Susan,
The main characters have to be twins (or one of a set of multiples)
