"Congrats Oleander!
For completing Firefly (Season 1), you won the Sinful Sticker:

Serenity has been posted to your thread. Enjoy! :)

All this talk of Firefly and Whedon is making me think I should probably do that challenge myself. the fact that I'm currently reading a book about a captain has no bearing on that decision at all... honest. :D

And work, well I do need to get a few t..."

It just so happened one of the books I read was Goldfinger, lol.

Great job guys! :)

And finished books 2 & 3.

Back to my planned TT reads now, lol.

That's not bad at all. and there's still today and tomorrow to go! :)

That's me complete! (post 5) 16/15 books. took me for ever to get that last O, lol.

I finished my Bounty hunter book, and had planned on starting a longer audio, but changed my mind to do a shorter one so I'll have time to finish it today and get the Jedi prompt in too.

And I will finish warlord today, one way or another. I have 70 pages left... I may just have to banish husband for an hour or two while I finish it! lol.

I was looking for something else entirely, when Pinterest decided to throw this at me.



Couldn't resist sharing. It's such a cute dog! ;)

I'll mostly be reading Cornwell today. <3

What image sizing are you all using in your sticker albums? I tried to update mine but my images were all wonky."

If you delete the "width" bit of the image link, and set height to 200, they'll come out perfectly :)
