Left to Die is on my TBR list, it will be my 1st Lisa Jackson book.

You had a great month.

Karen - I can't believe the number of challenges either! I'm nuts! I definitely double dip, but not every book for every challenge. I make sure of that. I try to read mostly what I already own when I can, but that doesn't always work out.

Marce - be prepared for the cliff hanger ending in Left to Die. I hope you like it, it was my first by the author too.
