1895628 Thanks Yz. I did get the read the month for April and the April monthly challenge completed. I just couldn't get all 3 in.


message 119: by Yz (new)

434780 No worries, briansgirl. It was a valiant effort.

Now on to the next challenge...LOL

1895628 I am not going to be able to finish this challenge. I'm only halfway through the novel I'm reading and it's a long one and it's taking me awhile to slowly go through the cookbook as I copy down recipes as I go for ones I'd like to try. This one has interesting history to read along with the recipes. But I doubt I'll get either of those finished, and no time to start on the other two. So I'll have to settle for 6/10 on this one.

What's in a Name (Feb 1 - Apr 30, 2009)

1.) A book with a color in the title:

message 82: by Briansgirl "Master Book Sale Huntress" (last edited Apr 05, 2009 06:55PM) (new)

1895628 I'm finishing the Heart of Texas series by Debbie Macomber. She originally wrote 6. Then after requests from fans, wrote two more. Of the 8, I have one left now having finished book 7 tonight.

The new series I'll start is her Cedar Cove series. Every title is an address, each starting numberically....

16 Lighthouse Road
204 Rosewood Lane
311 Pelican Court
44 Cranberry Point
50 Harbor Street
Hearts Divided Anthology (5-B Popply Lane)
6 Rainier Drive
74 Seaside Avenue
8 Sandpiper Way
A Cedar Cove Christmas

And she's been contracted for at least 4 more books I think. She asked readers to write in and suggest what she should do with the numbered books once she reaches 10+. She has a map I printed off from her website showing the town and where all the houses and common city buildings are.
