I finished the YA BOM just now!! Will start the Backroom BOM tonight. Are you already reading it???"

Yes, I will try to read the backroom BOM. I did like Wilder Girls. But yes, you need to enjoy YA Horror.

Se you and Karen, and Megan and Laura in the backroom!

It sounds like you had a good time! But oh my gosh, singed hair, eyebrows and eyelashes!

Laura - How was the woodsman competition? The musical we saw, Toxic Avenger, was hilarious and very good!

All my books for week 2 have been posted and shelved on my towers shelf! I’m heading out to the movies soon and probably won’t be back until week 3 begins. Hubby tells me there is another football game at 3 pm. So I’ll be able to finish my first week 3 book then. (It’s already started and short.)

I have 2 books lined up for Monday that have animals on the covers.

It’s chilly here too! I do hope it warms up for you, Laura!

I’ve got some shopping to do today. And will be gong to dinner and a Halloween musical with friends tonight. I may finish another book tomorrow. I’ll count how many books we have for the week before I finish!

I read through the mini challenge quickly. I can find some books with a dog or cat on the covers. I’ll definitely take a look at your list too, Megan.

Laura wrote: "How is everyone making out with their books? I 'd like to do another check in and see if anyone will be reading more than their weekly amount. We had a low book count last week and could possibly read a few more books."

I will probably finish 8-9 books again this week.

You are bad for my tbr list! I now have the back room BOM and The Perfect Lady.

Megan wrote: "Ahh its not on kindle unlimited. Its freeeeeeee"

Well, darn! That ruined my very valid excuse! 😁

I’ll look at it too then.
