Elie – Done. I’ll plan that one for April. I was just thinking that I could totally do this again with another batch of authors. However, I think it would be better if we waited a month between events. :)

There’s 9 authors at the Deadline Dames. I need another collaborative site with around 9 authors. I have a something brewing now.

I didn’t join in the challenge because I’m on a book buying ban at the moment for lent. However, I’m enjoying reading all the reviews and adding books to my list to get later. So many good authors and delicious books. I’ve been working my way through the Murderati authors and Running with Quills authors for the past year or so. I have many of their books already.
