lms8esmith's 2012 75 book challenge

Happy new year!! Last year I came pretty close to the 75 books read goal. I have 70 listed in my thread, but I think I forgot to post a few and cannot remember which books I didn't list. :(

completed January 2012

You've got a good start on your reading this year! I've heard that Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side is okay, so I might give it a shot if I see it at the library... we'll see. :)

Thx dk_phoenix! I have been trying to mix my paperback books with ebooks on my Nook simple touch. I had seen Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side so many times, so I finally decided to read it. At first I thought this will not be good, but the characters are likeable so that helped me with some of the twists and turns. :) I hope you enjoy it.

Small Town Sinners was an awesomely enjoyable novel!! I wish I had had this book when I was a teenager. I will not forget this one for a long, long time. :O)
