We have to report books every week at the deadline. If we know in advance that you won’t be able to post your books we can find them on your TT shelf or we can report saying that we have a book outstanding for the week.

o_O"

Surprised, no. Annoyed, yes. I feel that way pretty much every year though. I think people vote by author name a lot of the time and then haven’t actually read the book.

It was probably Jenny. I blame her for everything. :D”

If it was I’m glad she did.

I read In Other Lands and loved it. Thank you to whoever recommended it. I don’t think it is a book I would have found on my own. I loved the humor and the characters.

I’ve accepted that it is going to keep growing. I’ve got a rule that my TBR shelf has to be smaller than my read shelf. It makes me a little more selective.

There isn’t a mini for the last week. Just the continuation of the vanity mini.

Paula it is only the read by date that matters. There was discussion of that and was a mistake on ss only. The rules for the challenge state finished between 2 and 16.

Mods said to go by sight. I think you excluded the background color though because it isn’t grey except for the text.

It’s one of those half way between blue and green colors.

We only have 4 hours about left for today so if someone can read a book for the ladder #22 or higher go for it.

Now that December is here and I finished writing 50 thousand words I’m going to work on finishing a few books I started but didn’t really get to over the month.

For the last two weeks we have a mini that gives points for reading books on the favorites thread.

Discovering Dani is #20 in series.
