the only time I have to read is between 8:30 and 10 PM but usually reach my goal of 2 books a month. Sometimes I trade reviews with another author who peak my interest. Brenda Vicars (Polarity In Motion) is one. D.M Pulley (The Dead Key) is another.

Same here Gravy. I thought the list was a challenge where you pick what you want to achieve in 2016. I don't think it was any "magic" involved or ill will. I just think it was different people interpreting the challenge different.
