I finished another category for the 9909 challenge. New Vampire Books. Done!

Now...I need to get on Classics... I haven't read any yet. Shame.

I finished one of my categories in the 9909 Challenge! Yep..that's right.

Which one, you may ask? While it seems like it should be "vampire novels", it's not. Oddly enough, I finished "Books starring librarians" today.

I'm proud. 1 down...8 to go!
