Have you heard the one about the Oxford English Dictionary editor that deleted thousands of words?.

It has been a fantastic year but 2013 proves to be even better!

Some have been duds like Reading Over the Holiday's-Relaxing or Overwhelming? While Romance Novels: Why the Stereotype? and Should Bloggers Get Paid for Their Reviews? have been a big success. Come by every Thursday and we'll have a chat! Discussion posts remain my favorite part of book blogging. The Sweet Bookshelf has a new romance feature titled Let's Talk Romance. They're bringing you reviews once per week and I know I've enjoyed having them. This past year The Sweet Bookshelf has added 2 new regular reviewer's to the ranks-Christy and Catriona. Keeping my reading to 100 is how I can do that. I want to keep reading a hobby and never feel like it is work. I have a toddler and family comes first for me. Not as many as I'd wanted but I met my goal and I'm happy with that. I have a lot planned for 2013 and The Sweet Bookshelf. My birthday is in one week and I'm ready to get this new year on a roll. The ending could have been-should have been-epic. I was like what the what? That's it? What kind of teenager is he? I expected more. Will he do them? It was so totally fun to follow their red notebook. Ironic or destiny? Dash is looking in a book store one day and finds a notebook that Lily has left on the shelf for someone to find.

Lily and Dash's parents have both left them for the holiday's. I've not been to NY in 20 yrs! Oh geesh, I'm showing my age. New York is another character in this story.We're taken on a scavenger hunt really and it feels nice when a setting comes alive. Answering questions from a stranger? Sending them on dares to find more questions? Yes, please! I see romance in the New York City air! I was totally ready for this book of dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions? Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares.

If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.”
