Jackie - Fire & Ice Book Reviews (jackiefireicebookreviews) Hey everyone, all books that you read must be at least 100 pages. If you have one that you have already read, that is fine it will count. But from now on, they must be at least 100 pages.


message 30: by Hawazen (new)

Hawazen (zonna) Oh so Novellas 100+ counts...that's great!

so if I've read a book before and have re-read it this month then it still counts in the challenge ? 'Cos I've been reading a series again that I've read before and was actually going to ask this


Jackie - Fire & Ice Book Reviews (jackiefireicebookreviews) Hey guys, please only put books you have already read on you main botb shelf. If you have books that are on your shelf that you have not read, please remove them. You can create a botb to read shelf if you would like to plan ahead. Sorry for not telling you guys this in the beginning.
