I'd like to encourage you all to join this
great reading challenge!
It's certainly a great holiday tradition
for me by now,
and I'm hoping it will become one
for you guys, too!!
Dash and Lily's Book of Dares sounds great--NYC, Christmas, and bookstores (not to mention literary clues!). Now I want to read it too!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jane!
DeleteI was definitely attracted by the combination you mention! I think the plot concept is a very original one. And, of course, no REAL bookworm could possibly pass it up! Lol.
As I'm reading, though, I'm having very mixed feelings about the book.....well, let's see how it goes....
Thanks for commenting back!! : )
NOTE TO LATER VISITORS: I ended up changing my mind about the books I had previously decided to read for this challenge. The new titles are the ones above.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the confusion..... : )
