Well you won!!!
I've now finished entering all my back listed books and you've still come out on top.
Nearly 17% of my books are also in your inventory.
We must be book twins :)
Silvercowrie comes second, followed by Saluk, Smithy, and Crispychez. No wonder I like chatting to you all, we have such similar taste in books!

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I can't get over how having these challenges is already helping me focus, and Crimson Petal and White is one I've been meaning to get stuck into for ages. Reading the blurb again tonight and the first few pages, it's already getting me drooling! Thanks Becky.

Yes, it's always nice to have someone read with you. I don't know if we'll be reading it at the same time because I intend to make January the start with my challenges, although I don't think this will be the first one.

I challenge you to read "Random Acts of Heroic Love" by Danny Scheinmann. If you let me know when you are going to read it, I'll read it with you - I haven't read it yet either.
