As I rather foolishly signed up for the 50-book challenge before taking into account certain inalienable facts I'm going to default to the 30-book challenge and see how close I get to the target.

I figured I would start with the 30 book challenge and then move onto the 50 books challenge if I make it that far. I have not been able to complete past 50 book challenges, but hopefully that changes this year!

[Books:
Short stories, novellas, anything less than 50 pages:

Okay, second book for Will Hill, and I am completely sold. Have to wait for one year for the third volume in the series. If you like the vampire genre, really give Department 19 a read. Forget the stupidity of Twilight; even the "good" vampires in the series would laugh and tear apart Edward and his buddies. What we have here is pure unadulterated evil vampires.
