Thank you, @Melanie!

I’m hoping to finish five more books by the end of tomorrow, if that’s not too late. Those I finish today I can try to post here & those I finish tomorrow I should be able to input myself! (I’m more than half way through all of them, so now it’s just a matter of finishing the other half of them!)

Sorry, these four weeks flew by for me!

Also, Annie’s Song is finished, you can use today as a read date.

Could someone move over Truly Devious, Clockwork Princess, Cemetery Boys, A Cowboy to Remember, & Good Luck Girls?

@Annalisa, can I take you up on the offer of inputting info into the Sheet for me? I get my laptop fixed when I get back from my read-cation tomorrow, but I’ve done a lot of reading that still needs recording!

So I've been doing a lot of reading (I've finished eight books so far, and more than half-done with four others), but my laptop charger broke & it's making it difficult for me to input information in the spreadsheet. >:(

So far, the books in row 32, 46, & 47 are able to be made meals of. I'll continue input info for the other books as I can!

@Lau Maia, how did you like the After series? And I'm interesting in hearing what you think of Corrupt - I was planning on reading that soon!

Melanie wrote: "Chris, for your book "An Embarrassment of Riches". Are those chapter names or something next to the ingredients? There aren't page numbers or anything listed, so that's all I can think of that they..."

Oh, pooh! Sorry, Melanie - I hadn't seen your post previously! There were page location references of the first few sentences on that page since that graphic novel didn't have any page numbers. Were you at least able to use it for spell-it-out purposes?
