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

2/40 - The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World 2018 by Bob Sehlinger and Len Testa - I actually did read this, cover to cover, mostly out loud since we are leaving for Disney World on Monday! :)

Love all these goals, big and small! I'm excited to see what you all read as you check in!

Look at you all go! :)

Book 1/40 - Spice and Smoke by Suleikha Snyder - I really liked it! It's different and her voice is so great!

Hi everyone! Waving! :)

I'll reintroduce myself. I'm Jess Michaels, I write historical romance. We live in Northern Arizona, love to travel (we're going to Disney World in a few days) and I write and write and write. LOL That's pretty much it.

You guys are all amazing!! I'm so excited to see all the books we're going to read this year!!

Such a good point! Savoring is a good thing!!

As you read a book, track it here! So if your goal is 40, like mine you might say:

1/40 -- Some Great Book by Author A
2/40 -- Another Book by Author B

Feel free to post covers too and if you liked it or not!

My goal is 40. I was way under last year. Had some family stuff and wrote a LOT. But this year I really want to hit this. :)

There's no goal too big or small! But share with us here how many books you'd like to read this year! You can always adjust up or down as the year goes on!

Congrats everyone! Now the question is...do you guys want to do it all again for 2018?

Do you guys want to do another one? I know I've been MIA but I will try to be a bit better this year!

16/40 - - I liked it! I'm a Judy Greer fan and the book was fun and funny I would like to be friends with her now.

Wow way to go!!! :)

Woohoo Debra!!!!

You guys are all killing it! I've read two books recently.

14/40 -

15/40 -

And I'm like 16 books behind. This "have a nervous breakdown" year has killed my reading, I swear. LOL

12/40 - Celebrity Run-Ins a-z by Kathy Griffin. Pretty funny, I wanted more though. Most were nice and brief. I wanted bitchy and lengthy.

Wow! Way to go Megan!!!!

11/45 A moment of Passion
12/45 A Measure of Deceit

Both by me. And the rights have all reverted now so we're working on reloading them to retailers across the board! :)

10/45 Beautiful Distraction - still reviewing for the re-release. LOL It's fun to read the older books, though.
