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

Laura wrote: "The Study series is on one of the Turf Wars lists. I was thinking about a re-read, so I can take at least 2 of the Ys, and probably the third, if no one else can.

I can also take at least 1 N."

I may do a reread of the Study series also.

Louise, don't we have 21 available for Group 3?

I am. I planned to start mine today and finish tomorrow.

Hi, I'm Jackie, and I've participated in TT a couple of times before. I'm retired and have three grown children. I love being retired because I can read (almost) as much as I like. My favorite genres are fantasy, mystery, paranormal, historical fiction, and young adult. In other words, just about everything! I'm currently reading Eighth Grave After Dark which is one of my favorite paranormal series.

Looking forward to getting to know you all and to playing TT.
