Six of the books that I read in February I had read before the challenge was announced, so that's why there are only 27 of the 33 listed here. 
And that's it... of course you can tell that I did the series thing for many of the books, but especially with the Christine Rimmer books, most of them were from my TBR so I was able to work on one of my 2008 personal challenges at the same time. 

    Now, I'm starting on the March challnge:  New to You.  The first book that I've started is by new-to-me author, and New author, Cheryl Wyatt.  I count, as well, a somewhat new (to me), line ~ Steeple Hills Love Inspired.  I've only read one other book in this line and it was part of a series by Teresa Hill last year... so yes, I'm counting it. 
      But even if it doesn't count, Cheryl Wyatt is definitely a NTM author... and I have to thank Marty, aka HockeyJock, for this one.  He reviewed the book ~ The Soldier's Promise ~ awhile ago and I was so inspired (no pun intended) that I ordered it and the subsequent book right away.  I'm partway through the story as I type, and I won't be back for awhile because I really want to read this book!            Thanks Marty!!
