Jess’s comments from the Jess Michaels 2019 Reading Challenge group.

I love all the underestimation! Including mine! How far can we blow our original goals out of the water, I wonder!

Nice!!

Fabiola, burning up the charts!! You rock, lady!

If you're talking about the challenge here, you input them yourself. If you're talking about on the main Goodreads site, if you don't mark a "finished on" date on the book, Goodreads doesn't count it as finished for their main challenge. If you go back into the books it hasn't counted, try adding a finished on date and that should pop them. At least that's what I've heard.

Way to go Fabiola! You are almost at 50 now! Which is awesome!! Good luck with 80!

So we're about halfway through the year and I'm all about re-evaluating goals to make sure they're right. So if anyone wants to change their goal for the challenge, feel free to do so. Reading (or not being able to read enough) shouldn't make anyone feel bad. So if you over-reached, feel free to change! And if you under-called it and want to grab for a little more, you can do that too!

As for me, I'll stick to my original 50 because even though I'm ahead of my goal, I know that the next few months are going to be crazy with book releases and travel and I don't want to beat myself up if reading gets pushed aside for a few weeks here and there (like it has recently).

32/50 Brain Storm by Don Hahn - This book was AMAZING!

30/50 - Lady Em's Indiscretion by Elena Greene
31/50 - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith -- 2 Stars

And don't forget to record books you've read in the Share Your Progress board:

29/50 -- Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me and Other Concerns by Mindy Kaling - perfect book to break my drought. It was funny and fast and I would like to be Mindy Kaling's friend now.

Aw, hope you like/liked Beauty and the Earl!

Just gave up on my bookclub book, which I've been struggling with for like a week. I just couldn't do anymore. Now on to something else, hopefully something awesome.

My husband LOVED that one. Cried in the airport, it was kind of amazing. I'm too scared to read it because I know I will UGLY cry.

I'm trying to find a book to read. I'm not enjoying what I'm reading. I'm good with writing. LOL

28/50 -- No Children, No Guilt. Small review - This was the book I read since my book club book isn't doing it for me.

Sheesh, I'm just having the struggle of a lifetime with the book I'm reading. I actually stopped last night and read another one just because I don't like the first one. It's a book for my bookclub, so I need to finish it, but man. When I hit a rash of meh books it's so easy for me to find something else to do.

Can anyone recommend something just AMAZING for me to write to get me out of this slump?

Sorry I've been so quiet! Between my release week and writing the book I'm working on, I haven't been able to read as much. I'm hoping to change that tonight! :)

I really loved the entire Colette Gale The Erotic Adventures of Jane of the Jungle series. They're short and super sexy and entirely glom-able. LOL So if you're looking for that kind of thing, GET THEM. Now I'm reading a non-romance for my book club (between writing).

I hear you Erica! I hope you like your new job, though!

I haven't read it. How are the reviews?
