I think it is a sign we are extremely dedicated. ;)

We had a great week it seems like. Way to go Rubies! A few of the teams have been complaining of burnout, or how they are too busy, but I think we are going to be able to finish as strong as we started, so yay for us!

That said, I fell asleep reading and didn't finish my book. :D But I'll get it done today, I'm quitting early for mother's day dinner so I'll have reading time after. Happy Mother's Day to those who are moms.

I'm having trouble finding Is, but I should be good for all the other letters.

Montreal won and I'm enjoying my first D book. :D Good night all around.

This is the last one for me this week. Now I'm going to watch hockey and read a D title between periods. :)

How bizarre, it is there, but it isn't in the spreadsheet I have open from earlier. Oh well, as long as it counts. :D

We're missing my non-fiction book.

I should have 3 maybe 4 done by the deadline. I've been looking for next week and I have 2 D titles and 2 N titles handy. No yellow covers though.

I've got a non-fiction going too, it only works for C. I'm sensing a theme this week. :)

DANDELION for our last week. Not my first choice, but I'm sure I can find some Ds and vowels somewhere.

Finished last night. I do not recommend going straight to sleep after reading a book about guilt-ridden, anonymous, 70s-era bar sex, but I'm weird that way. ;)

Thanks Diane, it really held my interest, which is a nice change. And there was no happy ending for the stupid people, which made me happy. :D

Now I'm reading which is somewhat bizarre and dated but so far fairly interesting. I'm not 100% sure I didn't read this in my teens, but I remember nothing about it if I did. Plus it will finish off a challenge to read a book published from every year I've been alive. And so far has the letters RLET.

I didn't find something fluffy, but I ended up with a good book.

At least with a paper book you can go back and see what you didn't retain, with an audio book how do you possibly find where you stopped paying attention?

I've considered an audio book while I'm cleaning cabins. I won't actually pay any attention to it so it would be just like I was sleeping. :) I guess I actually prefer to know what's happening in my books.
