 Yay, aquagirl!  Looks like you've been reading a bunch of things in clusters. I just started Lover Unleashed (finally!). Laura - If I reread something, I still count it on the list since it is still a book (like I included DiA in May when I finished the group re-kilt). Seems fair to me. I think you can include the Lymond books twice if you are rereading. Although, I know they are long so rereading them may mean fewer books overall (as with rereading Outlander books which are also long).

Thanks for the heads up about the 50+ thread. I'm going to have to order Linda Gillard's books. I haven't been able to find them in stores and they continue to get such high praise on this forum! And....I will soon take on the Dorothy Dunnett series. I love continuing series, as you can tell. Then I can participate in the TLC threads.
