Read All The Books

This book much like the other two books in this series was so much fun! I didn't know much (read: nothing) about Calamity Jane so I really didn't know what to expect going in and I certainly wasn't expecting garou's but that's what makes this so good! All the characters in this were 'chef's kiss.'  I don't know who I loved more, Jane, Annie, Bill, Frank, George...even the bad guys were so bad that they were good.

G over at Book Roast is back at it again with another mini readathon while we wait for the NEWTS in August. Here is the link with the video explaining all the rules and the download for the map with the prompts.

Once you have finished that you can pick any of the other locations to visit by completing the prompts. You do not have to go to number 2 next. I don't think I will be able to complete all 10 prompts as this is only a week long readathon starting from June 22nd and ending on June 28th and I can't read 10 books in a week. I have picked 5 prompts but I don't think I will be able to get to all of them but at least I will have some variety to pick during the week. If by chance I do get through them...
