Hello ~ Hei
Goodbye ~ Nakemiin

I'm in! I don't if I can do both words, what with the busy holiday season, but I'll give it a shot.

Can we use any language or does it have to be Finnish? (nothing against Finnish, just curious)

ETA: Nevermind. Looking at other months answered it.

Goodbye has too many letters (too many books) for me to manage during the holidays but I can manage hello.

Great minds think alike! This year has really decimated my O and I books. And I haven't found any good way to search/sort series titles, or character names. although, I'm glad we have those options.

I tend to collect E, I & O authors/books just for challenges. Sometimes they are good, sometimes crap :)

If you're looking for series that start with a certain letter, try FictFact.

Thanks Sandra!

Sandra, I just learned about a new (to me) SFR series by Anna Hackett. Have you read her books? I just finished and it was a fun read. Think Raiders of the Lost Ark with Han Solo and brothers instead of Indiana Jones.

I'm done!

Looks good Lara, I've grabbed it :)

Thanks Leigh and Sandra!

Sandra, I'm glad to share my find with a like-minded reader :-)

Congrats, Lara!

Always good to have another "A" author.

Thanks LK! I hope you enjoy the books too.

The first one looks really good, Lara. I haven't checked out the rest of the series. But I did buy the first on Kindle. Seems I'm occasionally looking for a Sci-Fy Romance and can't figure out what to read. Thanks!

Yep, that was my thought as well. Love a good scifirom :)

All done! See yall next month

Yea Roxy!

Congrats Roxy the Fury!

Hooray Roxy the Fury!

Congrats, Roxy!

Getting there. I did switch out #16 of the In Death series and re-listened to #7, the Christmas novella. ☺
