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

Same here. I have a few to finish up before I can count anything.

Your life would be less colorful, for sure. No B and Gio? No Carwyn? No Ox and Emmie? The horror!

Hi Team! I'm one of the co-captains here. I currently live in Southern California. We're currently fixing up our house in order to list it this summer and move to North Carolina. We can pay off our mortgage and buy a new home debt free out there! Housing prices are ridiculous out here!

I read a little bit of everything except horror & thriller. Which isn't entirely true, because I can usually find something on my TBR that will fit any task.

I'm excited to find out what our experience will be compared to other teams.

I've done TT a few times. What usually happens is that Uno is winding down, and I'm worn out, so I don't sign up for TT, but then Uno ends and it's weird to finish updating all my challenges in 5 minutes, so then I sign up late. :)

Can you believe I only just last month read Night's Reckoning? I think I was subconsciously avoiding it because I knew that Tenzin was going to completely ignore what Ben wanted! (Not that I wanted Ben to die!) But now I'm so mad at E.H. for making me feel this way! But I plan to read Dawn Caravan as soon as I can fit it in with my challenges.

Cynthia, how is it? I’ve only read their Kings if Quarantine series. I loved it, but the bullying was so intense in the first book that I haven’t picked up anything else from them yet.

I'm about to post The Christmas Cowboy, but I won't get the other one done. I forgot about a church Christmas brunch with all the ladies this morning. :)

I think I'll get 2 more finished before the end of the round.

By the end of tomorrow I should have finished The Ride of Her Life: The True Story of a Woman, Her Horse, and Their Last-Chance Journey Across America (T, R, E, L), Achieve (Z, O, W, probably more) and hopefully either The Forever Girl (has a P at least) or Engagement and Espionage (E, P, R, C, W).

I'm not sure what else I'll be reading for the rest of the week, because we don't know our lists for the next round in Turf Wars yet.

E, if it helps you to place this one, I do have at least one more E to read in the next few days (and it's non-fiction so it will only work for E, L, T, R).
