Stacey’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I have a question. I started this audiobook today -- Getting Real. Unfortunately I did not check the page counts, and it has only been published -- right now -- in audio format. There is an "expected" publication of kindle/paperback for January of 2022. Can I use this?

It's quite fun, and I'll be sad to put it off, but there are earlier books in the series I can listen to instead.

With a 4 star rating, I assume you enjoyed it? :-)
It's a really good series."

I was a re read, but yes, still enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the first series, and have started the second series set in the same world, but have gotten stuck on book 3. Its one of those that keeps getting shuffled to the back of the line because of all the shiny new things!

Sorry I'm close. I was going to wait and post when I go home from work, but then double checked the countdown clock. Phew!

I'll have The Lion's Lady done before Saturday that works for historical fiction. Letters are kind of meh though -- only L, T and R -- at least so far.

That'll be it for me.

I think these will work for yellow text, right?

I'll work on the yellow lettering on the covers -- I have 2 so far -- because Cozy mysteries and I do NOT get along. ;)

ETA -- Do we still need any historical fiction for this week?

I have these 2 planned for sure next week -- I can probably add 1 or 2 more dependent on length, including a historical if needed.

We need 5 each of the genre and the cover color, correct? Or are we looking for 10 or one of them?

It was 2 novellas and a short story -- I don't think anything new. I had never read any of them, and I know they have another novella in that world coming up in Feb? I think, so I wanted to be ready. :)

Out of curiosity, what's the risk of asking for a new word? Do the mods have even HARDER words for us to try to do if we ask for a respin? I'm having trouble finding any books (that I want to read) that have more than 1 or 2 of these letters, so I'm wondering....

Thank you muchly!

What did you think of Pause? Same quality as the first one?
I've got it on my shelf but have only read Repeat so far."

I actually liked it better. The dialogue was a little snappier and there wasn't that pesky bad history to work through like the first one. Although I did have to put aside the fact that the medical premise of the book is impossible.... ;)

Done.
