2011 Kick Ass Heroine Challenge

I totally couldn't resist this challenge - I will surely drown in the books I need to read this year to finish all the challenges I have already signed up for - but truly ... Wonder Woman!

Out With A Bang Read-A-Thon! - - wrap up post!


Okay - so perhaps this was a learning experience for me - I learned that I need more than 3 days to be successful at a challenge.  I was not successful in finishing the 3 1/2 books I chose - I was hoping to, but NO!
I finished only the one that was already half read :(
