No shame in your game! I'd do the exact same thing. Only a heathen would refuse free books.

Yes, happy mother's day to all you moms.

I have a question about start dates. I put 3 books on my "currently reading" shelf, so that I'd read those next but I haven't actually started them. One, I haven't even picked up from the library yet. My question is once they come in can I still read them for this even though the history of my shelving will make it appear that I started reading them on May 3rd?

Absolutely! We can participate in as many ways as we each individually want to. That's the fun of this chall..."

Thanks, Shelby. That's great to know.

One more question, soz. Would you like us to pick a letter for a spell? Or just read and apply them later?

I know we're doing spells but can we also participate in the buddy reads?

Thanks, so much. It gets a little better everyday, though something new in terms of weirdness or discomfort seems to pop up. But, ultimately, it will be better than the long term pain & problems I was suffering (for years) before. So what's another 6 weeks. Besides, I'll never have to see Aunt Flo again. And I was looking at another 15 or so years, basing meno on my mom's age. Sorry anyone if that was tmi.

Hi guys sorry I'm late. I had a hysterectomy last Saturday, so I've been kind of out of it & didn't check my email. I'm not 100 on what's happening but I'll try and catch up. Here is the link to my TT shelf
